We tend to be a little too prone to using words like "best" or "worst" and "always" or "never" but I think a good case can be made that Neifi Perez is literally the worst offensive player in MLB.

The man has a career OPS+ of 64 in 5127 AB's that span parts of 12 big league seasons. Last year he posted an almost mind-boggling .172/.221/.266 line. From 1998 through 2000, nobody in the NL made more outs than Neifi Perez (1,526).

I don't know what the "good-will" angle is, but I can't imagine it has anything to do with him coming near the 40 man roster. I don't think this is a Steve Finley situation (which is a good thing).
