The Washington Nationals have named LHP Mike O'Connor as their starting pitcher for Saturday night's home game against the Florida Marlins, taking the place of LHP Matt Chico, according to MLB.com.

Our View:The Nats have decided to move Chico to the bullpen, suffering through struggles with a record of 0-5 and an ERA of 7.18. Chico has not lasted beyond the fifth inning in each of his last four starts and simply isn't getting the job done. "It's not a tryout, one-game type of thing," manager Manny Acta said. "We want to relieve Matt from some of the tension he's having. And we want to give O'Connor a shot. [Chico's] having some trouble every five days, and he understands that." O'Connor is 1-0 with an ERA of 7.71 in three relief appearances since being called up from Triple-A on April 24th. With Triple-A Columbus, O'Connor went 2-0 with an ERA of 1.96 in four starts, striking out 20 and walking just four over 23 innings of work.
April 24, 2008
Mike O'Connor was recalled on Thursday as the Nationals optioned Ray King to Triple-A Columbus, according to MLB.com. "With our bullpen right now, we can't afford to have a lefty specialist like Ray to pitch to one or two guys," manager Manny Acta said. "We need a guy who can give us more than one inning, could pitch to lefties and righties and bridge the gap -- like O'Connor."

Our View:O'Connor had four starts posting a 2-0 record with a 1.96 ERA for the Clippers and will offer an arm out of the Nationals pen. This really isn't a very relevant move, that is unless O'Connor ends up in the starting rotation at some point.
December 12, 2007
Michael O'Connor will not be tendered a contract by the Nationals. He posted a 4.80 ERA in 21 games (20 starts) in 2006 and didn't pitch in the big leagues last year due to elbow surgery.
June 18, 2007
The Nationals activated Michael O'Connor from the 60-day disabled list on Monday and sent him to Double-A Harrisburg, according to the AP. In 21 games (20 starts) with the Nats last year, he posted a 4.80 ERA.
January 22, 2007
Michael O'Connor, who is recovering from offseason elbow surgery, won't be ready to compete for a rotation spot in the spring, according to the AP. "Michael is not going to be ready to compete in spring training for one of those jobs," manager Manny Acta said Monday. "He's still in that rehab stage right now." It's not even certain when O'Connor will be ready to throw off a mound. Acta said he expects to look at 10 pitchers for the four open spots in the rotation.
