    Nationals Bard Goes To Washington

    The Washington Nationals signed catcher Josh Bard to a minor-league deal on Saturday, adding another veteran to compete for the backup job behind Jesus Flores.

    Bard was released by the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday, and will join the Nationals' big league camp. He would make $600,000 this year if he makes the major league team.

    The 30-year-old catcher played 57 games for San Diego last season, hitting .202 with a home run and 16 RBIs. His best season came in 2006, when he hit .338 with nine home runs and 40 RBIs in 93 games for the Padres.

    Wil Nieves caught 68 games as the Nationals' backup last season, and figured to have a roster spot locked up until Washington signed Bard. The two will now compete for the backup spot.
    I knew it wouldn't take long for Bard to find work. With Flores out with an elbow strain, the Nats needed another catcher. I was surprised the Marlins didn't snag him.

    It's just another case of mofo trying to pretend San Diego fans are saying shit that's not even on record.
