January 19, 200521 yr http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpag...ort=MLB&id=5368 Latest News Jan. 19, 2005 - 2:43 am et The Nationals and Esteban Loaiza have agreed to terms on a one-year, $2.9 million contract, the Washingotn Post reports. Pretty good value here. The Nationals should be finding out about John Patterson and Jon Rauch, but this still could work out well if Loaiza can turn in a good first half and be traded for some prospects.

January 19, 200521 yr E-Lo was Kenny Williams finest hour by far. Both in getting him and in getting rid of him. I wish him the best of luck. He was gold for a season here.
January 19, 200521 yr Good luck to Esteban! I do have to say I am relieved to see no one gave him a multi year deal.

I'm suprised he settled for this though. The Dodgers were rumored to have offered him $9 million over 2 years before they signed Derek Lowe.

The Dodgers were rumored to have offered him $9 million over 2 years before they signed Derek Lowe. I'm guessing his options were running out. His career could go either way at this point. I'd like to see him return to Cy Young form, but I am more inclined to believe he will finish the season in their bull pen or trying to win his 10th game. I'll take Garland over Loiaza at this point in time.
January 19, 200521 yr Good luck to Esteban. He had a great year for the Sox, and seems to be a class guy. I hope he bounces back and pitches well for the Natspos.
January 19, 200521 yr Free agent pitcher Esteban Loaiza joined the Washington Nationals on Wednesday, agreeing to a $2.9 million, one-year deal Got it from here: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylc=X3oD...ov=ap&type=lgns
January 19, 200521 yr There's already a forum on this in the Sports Bar... so me thinks its time for some merging.
January 19, 200521 yr he was pretty good in the playoffs last year from what i saw so maybe he can bounce back in the NL... and how about the jon rauch and loaiza reunion
January 20, 200521 yr I wish Esteban the best of luck. I’m pretty sure he can rebound with a nice ERA in the National League if he can regain the velocity he had with us in the 2003 season.
January 20, 200521 yr I dunno though, he won't exactly have the run support of a Major League team. Heck, he might not even have the run support of a Little League team.

Heck, he might not even have the run support of a Little League team. I donno, I think having Castilla and Guzman will give the team an extra .00235 percentage to their overall run scored average

He had a better offer on the table from a less desperate team when it comes to pitching. The Nationals appear to need pitching more and they didn't offer him as much, and he took it.

January 20, 200521 yr QUOTE(chi-guy2 @ Jan 20, 2005 -> 02:24 PM) hed post better stats with the nationals anyways in my opinion In LA he'd still be pitching in the NL and its a pretty good pitchers park. I think he might pitch better with LA regarless of the spot in the rotation hes in.
