PERISHO SIGNS ON WITH MONCLOVA

Former major league pitcher Matt Perisho has signed with Monclova for the 2010 season. A left-hander, Perisho spent last summer with the Brother Elephants of Taiwan's Chinese Professional Baseball League, going 5-1 with a 2.55 ERA in 79.1 innings pitched.

The 35-year-old Iowa native spent eight years in the majors with five teams after debuting for the Angels in 1999, turning in a career 11-17 record. This will be Perisho's second time around in Mexico after going 6-8 with a 3.93 ERA for Nuevo Laredo in 2008.
