Cyril Morong of 'Beyond the Boxscore' created two 15 player lists, one of pitchers who improved from the 2005 to 2006, the other of players who declined.

I thought Jim Bowden really blew it by not moving Soriano before the deadline, but maybe he didn't. If he leaves at the end of the season ,the Nationals get two first round picks.
