While you're sitting around measuring the shift in the balance of power in the NL East after the Nationals signed Mark Teahen to a minor-league deal today, and being thankful that there are only 13 days left until Nats pitchers and catchers report to camp, up there is an ad for the Michael Morse 38 Special shirt from the 22 Fresh Michael Morse collection.

#44: Is Mike Morse a legit top 10 outfielder?

Via Baseball Professor  |  February 06, 2012

Even though he struggled out of the gate early in 2011, he put things together towards the end...

As I scoured the internets (read: typed “Matt Stairs” into Google) I quickly realized that Stairs had retired, though since he will be a...

Would the Nationals consider holding back Strasburg?

Via The Hardball Times  |  February 06, 2012
The signing of Edwin Jackson presents the Nationals with the kind of problem that every club strives for—they have more starting pitchers than rotation slots.

Stephen Strasburg, Jordan Zimmermann, Gio Gonzalez, and Jackson are all locks while Chien-Ming Wang, John Lannan, and Ross Detwiler will battle for the last...
