Rosenthal was bad in Detroit after he left here too.

Control and command are the last things to come back after TJS. Maybe the Royals whispered to him, but it's obvious the time off helped him immensely.

And people forget that the price the Nats paid for him had that risk baked in.   You don't get a 29-year-old back-end reliever for a 1 year/$7 million contract unless there's some serious risk.  I remember seeing that dude in the playoffs when he was a rookie and thinking he was headed for multiple All-Star teams.   

And as much as he sucked here - which was awful to watch for a lot of reasons - I'm glad he's got it back.  That looked like it might be headed down the Rick Ankiel path for a minute.
