Player Notes
July 25, 2008
Nationals GM Jim Bowden has apologized to reliever Chad Cordero for telling the media Cordero was going to be non-tendered at the end of the season before he had actually told Cordero, according to Nationals.com.

Our View:Bowden has an odd way of going about his business, from allegations he knew he was sending the Reds damaged goods in Gary Majewski a couple years ago, to the allegations he was skimming money off of signing bonuses to Latin American players to this nonsense. Either way, Cordero will find a home somewhere, though he may not wind up being a closer in the near future.
July 24, 2008
The Washington Post reports that the Nationals will not tender Chad Cordero at the end of the season. He had surgery to repair a torn labrum on July 8. The recovery from such a surgery often requires more than a year. And even once somebody starts throwing again, it takes another year, sometimes, for velocity to truly return.

Our View:It's curious to get this news in July, but perhaps Bowden thinks the agent will appreciate it enough to consider re-signing with the team in the offseason. Traditionally, news of such decisions will come only at the Dec. 12 deadline to tender contracts. Most often, the announcement is not an announcement at all.
June 30, 2008
According to MLB.com, the Washington Nationals have officially lost Chad Cordero for the rest of the season. His torn right labrum will cause him to have season ending surgery on his shoulder.

Our View:Now that Cordero is gone for the season it is safe to drop him in all formats, if you haven't already. Jon Rauch will continue to see the save oppurtunites for the Nats.
June 9, 2008
Chad Cordero, who is recovering from a torn shoulder muscle, is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday at the Nationals' team complex in Florida, according to the Washington Post.

Our View:This is his first significant step in his recovery. He is expected to remain in Florida for around two weeks, and will then begin a rehab assignment, barring a setback. He hopes to return to Washington by late June, but will have a tough time pushing Jon Rauch from the closer's role.
June 7, 2008
Chad Cordero will travel to Florida to throw at the team's spring training complex for at least two weeks as he attempts to build up strength in his shoulder, according to MLB.com.

Our View:Cordero hopes to return to the Nationals by late June, but even when he does find his way back to the mound he will find it extremely difficult to pry the closers job from Jon Rauch.
