P Syndergaard, Noah, $0.5m (P-n/a), signed 10/6/10 $0.5m $0.5m $0.5m $0.5m $0.5m $0.5m

McLouth scores well in our system, but is ok player.  Should be signed at 1/2 of his contract next year, so he is serviceable.  Syndergaard is a young arm in TOR, worth taking a flier on.  Good heater, just needs to be consistent. 

Jake, always a pleasure, please confirm.

Nats confirm.  We'll see how McLouth finishes the season, then I can make a choice on whether to let him go or retain him.  Worth a flier, at least.  Thanks Rob.
