Winter meetintgs day 2: Nats try to justify Pudge signing, find a starter
Catching some by surprise - The PostSigning future Hall of Fame catcher Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez for two years continues to be a head-scratcher for many following the Washington Nationals. The team is trying to explain the decision to give him a contract that doubles his salary from the previous year, despite being on the downside of his career and having questionable mentoring abilities. Rodriguez is also a Scott Boras client by the way. He needs to pass a physical too.
Day 2 drawing to a close - The Wash. Times
More analysis but also a pretty strong point -- the Nats have not really developed any position players yet. Ouch.

The Nats need more pitching and second tier starters like Jon Garland, Joel Pineiro and Vicente Padilla. Stan Kasten seems to like them because they won't cost $10 million a season.
