DANNY ESPINOSA RUMORS
Thoughts On The Nats' Lineup Construction
It has become like a song I can’t get out of my head, that annoyingly catchy tune with the repeating bridge and lyrics that make no sense. A few weeks ago I started to think about the Nats line-up and what a good future line-up would look like.

Danny Espinosa And The Dreaded Sophomore Slump
Danny Espinosa is not off to a good start to the 2012 season. This is no secret as he is batting .194/.292/.245 compared to his rookie line of .236/.323/.414. The biggest question Nats fans have is, what should be done to fix this?
