From one Washington to another


Former Wild Things pitcher Chris Rivera, who was recently released, will get one more shot in affiliated ball. Rivera has signed with the Washington Nationals.

Rivera pitched in two games for the Wild Things in 2007 before having his contract purchased by the Chicago Cubs. After spending the remainder of the season in rookie ball, Rivera was released last spring and returned to the Wild Things. He appeared in 16 games (five starts) but struggled with control, walking 27 in 41 innings. Rivera had a 2-3 record when dropped from the active roster in August.

Wild Things have reportedly also Traded away JJ Hollenbeck... Looks like Mason is intent on completely retooling the pitching staff...
