(by Jeff Bergin) Anderson Hernandez was traded today to the Mets today for a young, minor league infielder who will report to Single A Potomac. Let that wash over you. The Nationals traded an MLB service player for a Single A player, and you know what, I am not mad. There is a new culture emerging under Mike Rizzo/Nats FO that I have not seen in the last couple of years, and...

The 2009 Mike Rizzo Low-Budget Housecleaning Tour rolls on. The Nats traded 2B Anderson Hernandez back to the Mets for A-ball 2B Greg Veloz. John Sickels ranked the 21 year-old Veloz the 17th-best Mets prospect coming into 2009, and Baseball America placed him in the organization's top 25. A rough year has probably dimmed Veloz's prospect luster somewhat, but he's a...

(Photo by Haraz N. Ghanbari - AP) One item about a Nats celebration not enough for you? Let's go for another. Hey, this team has won four straight; they need every celebration in the book. And so the question, inspired by this video from Nats Nation, goes like this: why do Adam Dunn and Josh Willingham insist on the old-school handshake whenever either hits a home run? "...

(By Richard A. Lipski - TWP) As I type this, the Nats trail, 6-0. I don't appear to have brought much good luck to this place. I'll go back to staying away soon. Two pieces of conventional wisdom: every Major League Baseball player once played shortstop, and Adam Dunn's strength is hitting rather than fielding. So, combine those and what do you get? "Everybody in...

The ballgame was only two innings old, the starting pitcher had already been knocked out, and the physical and mental strain of 22 straight games without a day off was taking its toll on the Washington Nationals. Down six runs to the Florida Marlins in a rare Thursday matinee on South Capitol Street, the Nationals wouldn't have offended anyone had they rolled over and conceded...
