#Nats placing LHP Doug Slaten on DL. RHP Craig Stammen coming up from AAA Syracuse, should be here tonight.
13 minutes ago

He wasn't the first to get it up, but he was the first one I could find.

Nice to see CrAAAAig StAAAAmen back in the Show.  Dumb question, but does he get paid the full $400k for this call up or just a prorated amount?

It's prorated unless he has a major league deal like Mattheus.

I hope Stammen throws nothing but cutters this time around.

He was getting something like 15% swinging strike rate. One of the highest in baseball.

So he'd have to be on the 40 man roster, correct?

He is, but you can have a minor league deal on the 40 man roster.

Slaten getting a less-than-rosy evaluation by Slowes and Jageler on the radio broadcast just now...mentioning, among other things, 50% of inherited base-runners being allowed to score (following last night's three-RBI triple).

a guy like Stammen is probably on a "split contract" - where he gets one salary in the minors and a different larger while in the majors.

Since he has some service time, he'll get a prorated portion of a salary slightly higher than the league minimum. The minimum is $414K this year, so, let's say Stammen will get a prorated portion of $420K.

Thanks, I've always been curious about this.

Riggleman on the pre-match radio show just now: Slaten 'dancing round the strike zone' too much.

Mark Zuckerman blogged his report card today and he actually Slaten the F that he so rightly earned.  I can't believe one of the team's beat writers would give one of the players an F!  :lol:

DOUG SLATEN -- F
Couldn't be counted on in any situation. Put a staggering 36 men on base in only 16 1/3 innings, plus he let 15 of 32 inherited runners score.

I think this is one of the best wnff threads ever!  It's a perfect timeline of Slaten's awfulness and it never changed or got better.

I don't disagree.  He had every chance to perform, and failed over and over again.

Ben Goessling was more generous and gave Slaten a gift grade of D-

Quote
Doug Slaten: D- There's not much good to say about the left-hander's season; he allowed 15 of 32 inherited runners to score, wound up with a 4.41 ERA and missed 2 1/2 months because of left elbow neuritis. He was a solid lefty specialist last year, and was mostly a liability this year.
