The Nationals are making a push for right-hander Esteban Loaiza, who is perhaps the best remaining free-agent pitcher. The Rangers, Padres, Astros, Devil Rays and Orioles also have shown varying levels of interest in Loaiza. The Dodgers were prepared to sign Loaiza to a two-year deal for approximately $9 million before they turned to Derek Lowe.

 

 

Is this true? If so, I'd gladly shell out $9 mil for a 2 year deal. I think he's got something to prove after the collapse in NYC...

We don't need him at this point. We've got a bigger priority... Delgado.

Hell no

He's terrible

Yes to the player, no on the money. :thumbdown

A one year 4 to 6 million will do the trick. Anything beyond that is pure madness. Maybe even less... :shifty

I'd rather have Valdez at less than a mil than Looza for 5 mil

I'll stick to what we have. :thumbup

We already have 10 pitchers signed to guaranteed major league contracts, not including Alfonseca.

 

What would be the point of adding another?

loaiza for 5-6 million a year is only viable if we have to trade burnett. thats adds a starting pitcher with major league experience. not to mention he was great in 2003, and theres no reason to say he wont be solid here.

I think Loaiza would be a good pickup but right now I'd rather sign Delgado. But I'm certainly not against us signing Loaiza.
