There is a problem though &#8212; the former Yankees ace, who was baseball&#8217;s winning-est pitcher in 2006-2007 (38 victories) won&#8217;t pitch until May. Wang had shoulder surgery last year that led to the Yankees non-tendering him. He also missed 2008 with a foot injury. I wondered why the Nats would pay $2 million for him to pitch 4-5 months, at best? The answer is because Washington has control of him next season too, so if Wang turns out well, they have a valuable asset, if not, little is lost. Not a bad signing, but it&#8217;d be better if Wang was the third free agent pickup for the rotation and not the second.<\/p>\n<p>Obligatory link to <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">The Post<\/span>:<br \/><a class=\"post-article-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2010\/02\/16\/AR2010021605295.html\"><b>Washington Nationals reportedly agree to a contract with former Yankee Chien-Ming Wang<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nats Web site selling Wang jerseys &#8211; DC Sports Bog, The PostSince yesterday morning, Chien-Ming Wang jerseys have been available in the official Washington Nationals online store.
