Who are the non-roster invitiees

I know about Ankiel and Teahen but who are the other non-roster invitees to training camp? I have to add fifty eight words to my question. i am not trying to state an opioion just find out some info about the Nats training camp. I think I have read about some others who will try to make to team or fill in in the minors and would like to know who they are. I suspect some others of you would also be interested.

Who are the non-roster invitees

I found this myself from Kerzel in December: The Washington Nationals have agreed to terms with right-handed pitchers Jeff Fulchino and Waldis Joaquin, catcher Carlos Maldonado, infielders Andres Blanco, Jarrett Hoffpauir and Chad Tracy, and outfielders Brett Carroll, Jason Michaels and Xavier Paul on minor-league contracts with invitations to Spring Training. Additionally, the Nationals extended Spring Training invites to right-handed pitcher Rafael Martin, catcher Sandy Leon and outfielder Corey Brown.

MLB.com's Nats Page has them all listed too...

And I did a little background on each of the NRI pitchers this weekend if it helps.

A number of them are 30+ year olds with 5+ ERAs...

I think Teahen is the most interesting invitee

He doesn’t really have spot on the roster because all of the corner positions are filled with or will be filled with studs or high payed guys. I doubt that he will put up the numbers to overtake Morse, Werth, LaRoche, or Zimmermann for a spot on the opening day roster. He could be a useful left handed bat off the bench and filling in on defense. I just hope they don’t put him at first base, he sucks at scooping low throws.
