Lopez and Lo Duca Released Posted by: Kristen in News on July 31st, 2008 9:25 pm

Felipe Lopez and Paul Lo Duca were released tonight to make room for newly acquired Alberto Gonzalez, rehabbing Elijah Dukes and Emilio Bonifacio.

Lopez made 4.9 million this year.  He hit .233 in 99 games with 25 RBI.  Everyone saw this coming.  He’s talented and it just didn’t work here.  We do wish him the best.

Lo Duca made 5 million this season.  He hit .230 in 46 games with the Nationals.  This was long overdue.  He should have never been signed in the first place.

   whoo hoo - no more Toast!! It’s kinda bittersweet to see Felipe go, we were pulling for him for so long. Hopefully he heats up for another team. I’m excited to see the new guys tomorrow.

   No word on the third guy to be moved. The release says Estrada opens the spot, but that became Milledge’s a week or so ago. Will it be Perez after tomorrow’s start?

   I’m hoping it’s Colome, but Orr still has options and is probably the odd man out.
