Nationals term with Olsen to a one-year deal

The Nationals officially announced that the club signed left-hander Scott Olsen to a one-year contract worth $1 million.
Olsen missed most of 2009 season because of a small tear in his left labrum. He was traded from the Marlins to the Nats in a four-player trade last year. "I never felt like I got into a groove like I have in previous years," Olsen said. "But at this point, I'm happy that the shoulder problems are behind me. I'm looking forward to having a banner year. I have something to prove to myself and other people in baseball at this point."

Olsen started feeling pain in his left shoulder on July 10 in a start against the Astros. In that game, Olsen lasted six innings and then gave up four runs. He had missed time earlier in the season because of soreness in the same shoulder.
Now Olsen is expected to be ready for Spring Training. Let's put on the nationals jerseys and support him.
