TEAMS: Washington Nationals

Looks like for at least one of the so called "Take Back the Park" games, Nationals fans really will need to take back the park; because the Washington Nationals have already given part of it away, blocking off sweet seats in the lower outfield section for the Phillies Nation "Phil Up DC" event on May 5. (Image via @JWerthsBeard). Plenty of good seats up in the 400 level...just sayin' Here's Nats COO Andy Feffer talking about the Take Back The Park campaign on Monday morning on WUSA 9; he forgot to mention Phil Up DC: Befriend the Nats Enquirer on Facebook.

Via Baseball Professor  |  February 06, 2012

Morse was a big sleeper heading into last year, and rightfully so. He finished 2010 with 15 home runs, 41 RBI and a .289 batting average in 266 at bats. Even though he struggled out of the gate early in 2011, he put things together towards the end...

Matt Stairs Was Good At Baseball

Via Fangraphs  |  February 06, 2012
This morning I was scrolling through some of Dan Szymborski’s projections over at Baseball Think Factory, and I noticed that he had run a projection for Matt Stairs. I had not heard any news about the guy we all know now as a pinch-hitter. As I scoured the internets (read: typed “Matt Stairs” into Google) I quickly realized that Stairs had retired, though since he will be a...
