I think Arroyo's appeal to Washington is more his paycheck than anything else.  Clement has $9.5 million a year for the next two  years owed to him...Bronson just signed a deal that gives him $10.5 over the next three years.  I don't think the Nats want to pay Clement that kind of money if they could get Arroyo for so much less.

Arroyo is also fairly effective out of the 'pen and he works better under pressure.  From a 'fangirl' point of view, I'd rather Arroyo stay with the team.  He's pretty reliable (Clement went downhill pretty quickly last season and never really recovered, starting just before he got beaned by that Carl Crawford line drive in Tampa Bay), and after basically taking a discount because he wants to be in Boston, well what Red Sox fan wouldn't love that?
