Progress in Tommy John Surgery Will Benefit Strasburg, Zimmermann
In the Washington Nationals pursuit for their first winning season, there has been one constant that has plagued the team throughout their six years as a franchise. That constant has been major injuries. From Nick Johnson’s fragile body to Ryan Zimmerman’s DL stints, the team has seen its fair share of season altering injuries. Most recently though in the last three years...

Video of the Stephen Strasburg jersey retirement ceremony, etc.
On Friday night, Stephen Strasburg had his number retired by SDSU. Here's video of the ceremony, above, via goaztecs.com.
On Sunday, Stephen Strasburg arrived for Spring Training with the Nationals, apparently relaxed and happy to be "just another donkey", with a smile on his face and a clear mind:
"My mind is a lot clearer. I just go out there and throw...

Ryan Zimmerman Willing To Move To 1B, But Not Yet
To me, Washington Post beat reporter Adam Kilgore is at the absolute top of his game in spring training. It's clear that he spends the entire offseason thinking of perfect potential February stories, and he wastes no time cutting through the fat. Yesterday, he asked Ryan Zimmerman about potentially, someday, having to change positions after the Nationals drafted third baseman...

Dreaming Stephen Strasburg
The 2012 MLB season is still a pregnancy with a due date six weeks out. Doctors have performed ultrasounds with ZiPS projections and Pecota cards and so us parents have some idea what's coming. But until the actual season's birth, all we can do is dream. As parents, we dream big. While the child is still in the womb, we think about college and whether our child will be artistic or...

Sounds like the Nationals are serious about this Take Back the Park thing...
Jayson Werth arrived early to Spring Training with the Nationals on Saturday (like, really early), and made it clear he wants to put his 2011 disaster behind him: doesn't want to dwell on it, but feels more at home now. His comments got us thinking about home cooking, and the Nationals' Take Back the Park campaign. Here's Werth's comments on how important he thinks...

A short while back I acquired a Danny Espinosa 2011 Topps Chrome RC Auto redemption from Robert over at $30 a week habit in what was our eleventy-billionth trade. I quickly redeemed the Espinosa, and Topps informed me the card was scheduled to ship in May. I had no problem waiting, and wasn't at all concerned that this redemption story would turn out like others we've all...

Player Profile #40: Ryan Zimmerman | 3B | WAS
Ryan Zimmerman‘s value might be at an all-time low and that’s what makes him so intriguing for 2012. He’s only 27, so he should be entering his power prime and if he can stay healthy will return to what he was from 2009-2010. Consider last season when Zimmerman came back from an oblique injury he ended the season with a .302 average, nine home runs and 37 RBI in...
