Player Notes

March 4, 2010
Likely Nationals setup man Brian Bruney had a rough spring debut on Thursday, allowing three baserunners and two runs in just one inning of work.

Our View:The Nationals' bullpen was astoundingly bad in 2009, and the club is counting on Bruney to be much better than he was today. More often than not, it's safe to assume he will be.

February 17, 2010
Brian Bruney lost his arbitration case against the Nationals and will make $1.5 million in 2010, according to ESPN.com.

Our View:Bruney was asking for $1.85 million, so the loss shouldn't hurt <i>too</i> much. Look for the former Yankee to serve as fellow newcomer Matt Capps' setup man, and he could be in line for save opportunities if Capps struggles or gets hurt.

February 16, 2010
According to the Associated Press, Brian Bruney and the Nationals were not able to come to an agreement this offseason and the two sides will head to arbitration.

Our View:Bruney filed for $1.85 million and the Nats countered with $1.25. No common ground was able to be met, so it's in the hands of the arbitrators. The reliever posted a 3.92 ERA with an 8.3 K/9 in 39 innings last year with the Yankees, but dealt with elbow issues in the first half. He would like to close for the Nats, but will have to improve on his 6.2 BB/9 ratio if that's going to happen. Stay tuned to see how much cabbage he rakes in this season.

December 29, 2009
Brian Bruney would "prefer" to close for the Nationals in 2010, according to MLB.com.

Our View:He most likely will not, however. The recently acquired Matt Capps is believed to be in line to be the Nats' fireman. Capps struggled mightily in 2009, however, and should he do the same in 2009, Bruney would likely get the first crack at replacing him.

December 25, 2009
There is belief Brian Bruney will be slated to serve as a setup man for the Nationals in 2010, according to the Washington Post.

Our View:Matt Capps will work as the closer. Bruney looked good at times with New York last season, and could get some save opportunities - especially if Capps struggles.
