Nationals Acquire Victor Garate To Complete Belliard Trade

The Nationals acquired Double A lefty reliever Victor Garate to complete the August 30th Ronnie Belliard trade, according to Pete McElroy of MASN.  The Nats already received A-ball pitcher Luis Garcia in the deal.

Garate, 25 later this month, came to the Dodgers in '07 from the Astros via the Rule 5 draft.  Baseball America wrote in this year's Handbook that he "projects as a poor man's Brian Fuentes."  Garate must be thrilled with the trade, as he'll move quickly up the ladder in the Nationals' bullpen.
