He was a former Top 10 round pick for the Nats, right?

Nah. I'm guessing Lancaster Barnstormer.

Endy Chavez back in the majors as a fill in for Julio Borbon in Texas.

Blue Jays Release Chad Cordero
By Tim Dierkes [May 17 at 11:42am CST]

The Blue Jays released reliever Chad Cordero from their Triple-A club, reports Todd Dewey of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Cordero, 29, signed a minor league deal with the Jays in January. Cordero had 128 career saves under his belt as a 25-year-old with the Nationals, but he had surgery to repair a labrum tear in his shoulder in July of '08. Since then he has been a part of the Mariners, Mets, and Jays organizations. This year at Triple-A he posted an 8.66 ERA, 3.6 K/9, 4.6 BB/9, and 2.5 HR/9 in 17 2/3 innings, a departure from his Triple-A work of 2010

God damn, I'm really upset about Chief getting released. The poor guy suffered so badly this year, he deserved to have a shot. He's such a great guy, and once upon a time was a great closer. Yeah, the ERA didn't give them much choice. I say the Nats sign him to a minor league contract, and what happens happens. We owe him that much.

^ They don't owe him crap. They paid him over 12 million dollars in his time here. He was well compensated for the good 4 years he produced. What happened to him was horrible but that doesn't mean he is owed anything by the Nationals.
