Since the move, Washington is 25-30 and 9.5 games out; Storen's ERA as a setup man before he disabled himself was 9,22
Jonathan receives the Milton Bradley teammate award for this year.

Agree 100%, why they traded for him is beyond me, they really didn't need him. It disrupted the team dynamic, stupid move by the GM.
