Tavarez on why he signed with the Nationals:
"When you go to a club until 4 a.m., a 600-pounder looks like J-Lo. And to me this is Jennifer Lopez right here. Its 4 in the morning. Too much to drink. All the girls look hot. So, the Nationals are Jennifer Lopez to me."
Tavarez on whether he's a starter or a reliever:
"I would like to be a starter. But like my father said, you want Jennifer Lopez but does she want you? No. I'll just take what ever they give to me."
Tavarez, a journeyman reliever who spent parts of last season with the Red Sox, Brewers, and Braves, is expected to pitch out of the bullpen for the Nationals if he makes the big league club.
Washington Nationals = Jennifer Lopez according to Julian Tavarez
