Yes, he'd have been due ~$2MM but he wasn't going to get a huge raise. If he improves his slider, that'll be a bargain. He'd be a smart pickup for the Nats if they didn't have Bruney, but I see him more likely in a Mets uniform.<br /><br />Wang's repertoire consists of a 91 MPH fastball with which he cannot strike out major-league hitters. It's that simple. In fact, the 30 MLB organizations should pool his salary so he can test players in some AAA venue: if a triple-A hitter can hit Wang, that hitter should be promoted, otherwise not.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01915120760049904431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4745915579093042618.post-32399387642441122392009-12-13T07:30:57.120-05:002009-12-13T07:30:57.120-05:00I hope the Nats compete hard for the best of the n...I hope the Nats compete hard for the best of the non-tenders, like they need to compete for the best (or near-best) free agent pitchers. If we are to really see a new direction this year, the Nats have to stop concentrating on mere "scrap heap" players.Positively Half St.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07048223068323120438noreply@blogger.com
