McKain may sleep peacefully now...Livan dealt

[General]

According to FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal, the Diamondbacks have acquired Livan Hernandez from the Nationals for Garrett Mock and Matt Chico.
It's unknown whether the Nationals will cover any of the $7 million that Hernandez will own next year. Nationals GM Jim Bowden probably blew it when he failed to trade Alfonso Soriano before the deadline, but the deals has has made have been good ones. Mock has middle-of-the-rotation potential, and Chico, a left-hander, could turn out to be a pretty good reliever. Hernandez will likely push Enrique Gonzalez out of Arizona's rotation, assuming that Brandon Webb is healthy enough to pitch this week.

Not a bad trade for either team. The Nat's get some future potential while dumping an old and expensive player the D-Backs get a guy who will help with the playoff push. AZ is only 2 games out of the NL West right now.

Thank you LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRDDDD, whoo whoo!

Great news for the Nats. Bowden now needs to keep working on a contract for Soriano.

How is a pitcher with a 5+ ERA going to help the Diamondbacks?

[McKain]

because Claudio Vargas and Enrique Gonzalez suck more than Livan.

[DirtyKash]

and Livan has pitched well since the ASB ...

Nobody sucks more than Livan.
