Surprised he got 2 years.

Good job Omar

good for IRod, although he may never hit a HR again now...

 

[darocker80]

damn, really wanted him to come to the Giants.

hmm...289 hits until 3,000...2 years....going to be real tough since he has 216 the past 2 seasons.

i for one wouldn't mind seeing the 1st catcher to get 3,000 hits.

Well I was pretty ticked by this. I love Jesus Flores and I know he is injury prone, but why would Pudge even want to come here? 2 years? Just....no.

Committing 2 years and $6 million to a 38 year old backup catcher is another reason why the Nats continue to be the worst team in baseball. I am stilltrying to figure out what kind of blackmail Scott Boras has on the Nats GM that would cause him to give IRod 2 years.

After watching him in the latter half of 2008 "play" (ok SUCK) for the Yankees I can't believe he got that deal but that's what reputation can do for you.

Great pick up for the Nats, now instead of finishing 40 games out of first, they can finish 38 games out.
