I don’t know a lot about the Washington Nationals. That’s a relative statement of course. I know alot more than the average person about the Washington Nationals. I know that they’ve been a mediocre team since the franchise moved from Montreal, never reaching the playoffs. I know that they just signed Ryan Zimmerman to a large contract extension that seems somewhat questionable...

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  March 12, 2012
Since moving over from Montreal, the Washington Nationals have not had a winning season. They have come close a couple times and are improving as of late, but they still leave a lot to be desired. Nationals fans are waiting on Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper to take over the franchise, but more often than not they leave the ballpark with an empty feeling in their stomachs. This...

Nationals Should Wait Before Trading Lannan

Via The Nats Blog  |  March 13, 2012
Washington Nationals pitcher John Lannan continues to be heavily mentioned in trade rumors across the league, and with good reason.  He's a lefty starter who can eat innings and be solid at the back of the rotation, and that's exactly why the Nationals shouldn't trade him... yet. Lannan is essentially the only starting pitcher remaining on the Nats 40-man roster eligible...

Nats' Talent Level Is High, Confidence Even Higher

Via The Nats Blog  |  March 13, 2012
During a stroll through the Nationals’ minor league camp last week, we heard Washington’s Director of Player Development, Doug Harris, tell a group of players that they must respect the “W” on their hats, because the Lerner family is trying to build a brand. While that may be true, it is becoming more and more apparent that over in major league camp, Mike Rizzo and Davey...

Is it over for Ivan?

Via Fangraphs  |  March 13, 2012
As we approach the midpoint of spring training and cast a wanting eye towards opening day, it is probably fair to wonder about the status of currently unsigned free agents.
