2355801, Clearly wanted to keep their streak of former Nationals pitchers alive
Posted by Call It Anything, Thu Jul-31-14 12:19 PM
They were probably unsure whether or not they'd be able to get some innings for Alex Meyer this year and wanted make sure that they got their appearance from somebody that has represented DC.
2007 - Ramon Ortiz
2008 - Livan Hernandez
2009 - Luis Ayala
2010 - Jon Rauch/Matt Capps
2011 - Matt Capps
2012 - Jason Marquis/Matt Capps
2013 - Shairon Martis (And Jamey Carroll)
I blame the Alfonso Soriano deal falling through in 2006 to explain why that didn't work out. I'm sure that Nationals would have thrown in a lefty reliever like Mike Stanton or Joey Eischen or something.
