The Nationals signed outfielder Chris Duncan on January 19th, according to the team's official transactions page.
Duncan, 29 in May, hit .227/.329/.358 in 304 plate appearances for the Cardinals last year before being traded in July to the Red Sox for Julio Lugo. He was released from the Triple A Pawtucket club about a month later.
Talking to Rob Rains of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat in December, Duncan's agent Barry Meister suggested his client's neck injury and surgery caused his poor performance in 2008-09. Duncan hit .273/.358/.527 in his first two seasons with the Cards.

Good thing too. I feared that he would get an invite to spring training and make the team.

If the NATIONALS sign you to a minor league contract, you should just quit. It's pretty bad when the worst team in baseball can't even gaurantee you a major league role.

I hope he can get enough time in the bigs to get a nice pension. I used to really like the kid until he started getting played over better players, mostly Ludwick. That is why I don't mind seeing Ankiel gone as well. Steadier playing time should make both Rasmus and Ludwick better. Rasmus seems a little insecure anyway.
