Dan Haren one year, $13M with Nats.

A lot of that velocity lost is from the cutter of course.

I like the way baseball is going with these extremely short contracts justified with paying a premium over market value.

Makes much more sense for franchises and gives enough incentives for players to accept shorter deals.

So you're watching the MLB Network too

Second year in a row the Nats have given a one year deal to a name brand starter to be their 4th starter. Much respek.

Nats with a good offseason so far

[dodgersuck]

The Nat's rotation is stacked on paper. They are going to be really good next year barring any serious injuries.

[J.Twiggy]

This team has the potential to be even better then last years team depending on health and the possible return of Laroche i mean we did come 1 strike and one out away from making the NLCS.

Where's Kershaw-Greinke-Dickey-Billingsley-Beckett???

Didn't know Billingsley, Kershaw and Becket got traded to Mets who also apparently also signed Greinke!

[fresh prince]

Name recognition signing. You can get alot more for 13 mil for what dirty Dan is going to produce. He is really hittable now.

[dr_death]

Haren has been an underrated player his whole career. He'll bounce back in Washington. Great signing and depth.

[J.Twiggy]

If he can get his fastball up to 90 to 91 MPH that will help him with his split-finger fastball and cutter that from what i understand are lethal and there are not many powerful offense's in the NL so he might very well thrive in the capitol city.
