Player Notes
July 20, 2009
Julian Tavarez has been designated for assignment by the Nationals, according to The Washington Post.

Our View:Hard not to see this coming. Tavarez had posted a high 4.89 ERA for the Nats this season, and a downright abysmal 1.74 WHIP, simply an unacceptable number for a reliever. Seeing as that he has pitched for nearly every team in baseball (technically, 11), and that he is now being cast away by the worst team in baseball, it's hard to see him catching on somewhere else. But then again, he's come back from the dead a few times before, so anything's possible. Regardless, stay away.

Julian Tavarez was working the ninth inning for the second night in a row, but things went terribly wrong in Washington. He allowed two hits, two walks, and five runs, only two of which were earned. He fell to 0-2 in the effort.

Our View:The Nationals bullpen is already 0-8 on the season and there seems to be no relief in sight. Joe Beimel is expected to come off the DL next Wednesday, and there's a very good chance he will see plenty of chances to close out games for the Nats.
April 29, 2009
Julian Tavarez picked up his first save of the season as Washington won 4-1 in Philadelphia on Wednesday. He allowed just one hit while striking out one batter.

Our View:After a disastrous start of the season for the Nationals bullpen, it looks like they have settled on Tavarez to be their closer. He has 13 strikeouts in 9.2 innings and a 2.79 ERA through 9.2 innings this season. Joe Beimel may also get a look in that role once he returns from the DL.
April 28, 2009
Julian Tavarez will be given a chance to close games with Kip Wells after the Nationals pulled Joel Hanrahan as their ninth-inning man, according to MLBblogs.com.

Our View:Tavarez fired 12 strikeouts over 8.2 innings of relief this season, and his fantasy stock improves - but he will still have to share save chances with Wells, and Joe Beimel (hip) could take over the closer's role when he returns from the DL.
April 4, 2009
SI.com reports that pitcher Julian Tavarez made the Nationals roster.

Our View:Judging by Tavarez's comments a little more than a month ago, he's probably not very excited about this season. Look for more inconsistent effort and no fantasy value from him once again this season.
