Any chance he can learn to throw another pitch effectively at the tender age of 31?

Must say that with all the weak bullpens in MLB, I am surprised that no other team was willing to give him a look on their MLB roster. Booker has a really good arm, and put up strong number in AAA and on Team USA. Not saying that Chris Booker will contribute much (also realize that he is over 30), if at all, to the Nats this year, just that he has better stuff (and has produced on the AAA level) than more than a handful of guys on MLB rosters.</p> Glad to see the Nats re-signed Booker.

I realize that there is still time, but it is the Nats' position of strength. Adding Booker helps the depth.</p> I am still shocked that Albaladejo is the only reliever that we traded this off-season.

Power pitching out of the bullpen is the big difference between th AL an NL. This was very obvious watching the playoff this season.</p> Marsonek on paper sounds like a good pick up.
