Nationals agree to terms with Olsen
The Nationals trimmed their arbitration list by one player on Sunday, when
they agreed to terms on a one-year, $2.8 million contract with left-handed
starter Scott Olsen. When figures were exchanged on Jan. 20, Olsen asked for
$3.5 million, and the Nationals countered with $2.5 million.
Olsen, acquired along with outfielder Josh Willingham in a five-player deal
with the Marlins on Nov. 11, was one of just 18 National League pitchers to
reach the 200-inning plateau last season, when he went 8-11 with a 4.20 ERA.
Over his last three seasons, the 25-year-old has pitched at least 175
innings, has eclipsed 30 starts and ranks in the top five among NL
left-handers in wins (tied for fifth, 30), starts (first, 97), innings
(second, 559), strikeouts (fourth, 412) and quality starts (tied for fifth,
46).
For his four-year career, Olsen -- a sixth-round Draft pick by the Marlins in
2002 -- is 31-37 with a 4.63 ERA in 102 appearances (101 starts).
Remaining for the Nationals in terms of potential arbitration cases are
Willingham and third baseman Ryan Zimmerman. Shawn Hill won his arbitration
hearing on Saturday, and will make $775,000 in 2009.
