I assume the Nats had to send him back after picking him? Those stats are with Cleveland's minor league teams.

Maybe the Nationals will package him for Peavy.

Ahhh, the great readers/commenters of MLBTradeRumors.com:
Proving that if a rumor is not about the Yankees/Red Sox/Mets/Cardinals/Cubs/White Sox/Dodgers/Angels/Jake Peavy/Matt Holliday/Derek Jeter/...(insert popular player), then they really can't be bothered! :D

It's some guy nobody has ever heard of. That's why nobody can be bothered.

Better to write nothing at all than to write comments in the "slow news day?" vein.
