Livan Hernandez is officially a Minnesota Twin. I really don't care much about this, because I hadn't been warming to Livan over these past few days, and while you want a guy pushing to get on your club, I felt like he was pushing to be a National again so that he could go back to being the presumptive ace, which he addressed by saying that he'd love to start on Opening Day in the new park. And I think some of the other guys deserve a shot, whether it's Bergmann or Hill.
I'd still be keen on the Nats picking up Kyle Lohse or Josh Fogg, but it's looking less and less like they're going to do that, which isn't a catastrophe, but having a veteran in the rotation might be of some use.
The Wookie, John Rauch, also got signed up through 2009, or 2010 with a club option last week. It's impossible to argue with this, because his top salary, as of 2010 will be $2.9m. He's way better than that. While not necessarily spectacular, Rauchie has been one of the most stable setup men/relievers in the league for a couple of seasons now, and it's good to lock him up.
