The Nationals today signed Japanese lefthander Katsuhiko Maekawa to a minor league deal. He was banned from the Japanese leagues and didn't play a single game in '07 because he was accused of involvement in a hit-and-run accident. Another troubled guy. Joy. Oh, and by the way, he had a 5.26 ERA in JAPAN in '06. Remember how good Dice-K was in Japan? And how much worse he is here? Well, tack that inflation on to Maekawa. Wow. I'm thinking an ERA in the mid-nines.
The Padres claimed pitcher Enrique Gonzalez off waivers from the Nats. He never appeared in a game for them and was atrocious for the Diamondback a few years back. Good riddance. However, some commenters on Svrluga's blog were quite unhappy about this one (same link as above.)
