The Nationals and Esteban Loaiza have agreed to terms on a one-year, $2.9 million contract, the Washingotn Post reports.

Pretty good value here. The Nationals should be finding out about John Patterson and Jon Rauch, but this still could work out well if Loaiza can turn in a good first half and be traded for some prospects.

Good luck to Esteban!  I do have to say I am relieved to see no one gave him a multi year deal.

I'm suprised he settled for this though. The Dodgers were rumored to have offered him $9 million over 2 years before they signed Derek Lowe.

I'm guessing his options were running out. His career could go either way at this point. I'd like to see him return to Cy Young form, but I am more inclined to believe he will finish the season in their bull pen or trying to win his 10th game.

 

I'll take Garland over Loiaza at this point in time.

I dunno though, he won't exactly have the run support of a Major League team.  Heck, he might not even have the run support of a Little League team.

:lolhitting

 

I donno, I think having Castilla and Guzman will give the team an extra .00235 percentage to their overall run scored average

That's why it's funny he accepted this. He had a better offer on the table from a less desperate team when it comes to pitching. The Nationals appear to need pitching more and they didn't offer him as much, and he took it.

In LA he'd still be pitching in the NL and its a pretty good pitchers park. I think he might pitch better with LA regarless of the spot in the rotation hes in.
