Odds and Ends: Perez, Lowe, Garland, Swisher, Neshek

Some Tuesday evening links:

• Odalis Perez is waiting to sign a new contract this offseason, says MLB.com's Bill Ladson after a conversation with Perez' agent. Ladson also notes that Nats' GM Jim Bowden has expressed interest in resigning the lefty starter. Perez did start 30 games last season with Washington.
• The Braves have a significant interest in Derek Lowe, reports Mark Bowman of MLB.com. Beyond Lowe, Atlanta may look next at Jon Garland, Randy Wolf, or Oliver Perez. Bowman categorizes the members of this group as potentially "profitable gambles."
• Nick Swisher will play almost exclusively at first base for the Yankees--at least for now, says Ed Smith of the New Jersey Star-Ledger.
• Twins reliever Pat Neshek had successful Tommy John surgery this morning, and will soon begin rehab. He's targeting Spring Training 2010 for his return, according to Kelly Thesier at MLB.com.
