The Nationals signed Daniel Cabrera yesterday to a one year, 2.6
million dollar deal where it seems that they beat out the Pirates and
the Mets among others to get the big pitcher. How big is this signing?
Well right now it seems pretty small. Living in Baltimore, I am very
familiar with Cabrera's stuff. He is a big guy, really he's huge not
only is he tall he has a big frame...

Just in time for his signing with Washington, Daniel Cabrera is the subject of my first contribution to Beyond the Box Score. I'll be posting a few times a week, over there. No real change in this blog, except maybe some less of the "what does that have to do with the Cubs?" stuff.

Nationals Sign Cabrera
The Nationals and pitcher Daniel Cabrera have reached an agreement on a one year deal, MLB.com is reporting. Cabrera, 27, was 8-10 with a 5.25 ERA for the Orioles last season, and was pursued by the Pirates and Mets as well. This is a great signing by the Nationals, who bring in a hard throwing pitcher who will not even have to leave his home in Baltimore to play with the Nationals...

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Dock Ellis (shown here in Bradenton, Fla., in this Feb. 1974 file photo taken during spring training) died yesterday of a liver ailment. Ellis once infamously claimed he pitched a no-hitter for Pittsburgh while tripping on LSD. He later fiercely spoke out against drug ...

RIP Dock Ellis
I've been in the car all day which has limited my chance to post this, but Dock Ellis died last night at the age of 63 and even for someone that never saw him pitch a day for the Pirates, this is some sad news. The PG obit is full of laudatory quotes and importantly points out that while most ...

Nick Johnson?
With the Yankees looking to add another bat to their lineup, some fans have speculated about trading for Nick Johnson. It seems like the Nationals really are going hard after Mark Texiera and if that fails they may look to sign Adam Dunn. If either of those guys are signed, then Nick Johnson ...
Thanks For The Memories, Dock
My friend snapped this picture of Dock Ellis, who passed away today, and me two summers ago during the “Irate Fans” walkout. You’ll notice Dock is wearing a green tee-shirt in the photograph, which was the paraphernalia inteded to signal your support for the cause. I’m too young to remember when Dock pitched for the [...]
Nats/Texiera
According to Buster Olney, the word is that the Nationals do not expect to win the bidding for Mark Texiera. This seems to suggest that they did not make a sudden ridiculous offer, topping the Red Sox. This makes me think he`ll end up in Boston unless the Yankees can shed some payroll in the ...
