Starting pitcher Daniel Cabrera and the Washington Nationals agreed on a one year contract over the weekend. Cabrera is expected to earn $2.6 million in 2009 as he moves into the starting rotation for the Nats.

Cabrera went 8-10 last season with the Baltimore Orioles but he does have a pretty active arm and should have had more than eight wins last season. He features a lively fastball and also throws a pretty good curveball and changeup.

Cabrera spent the last five years with Orioles and compiled a 48-59 record with a 5.05 ERA for Baltimore.

I like this signing for the Nationals as I think there is a lot of upside to Cabrera. Hopefully he has a great season with the Nats!
