I think his value to the Nats far exceeds what they would get in a trade for him. Sucks for him this year because he's gotten jobbed by having to be in AAA, and he's a legitimate replacement-level starter in the majors that would be in the back end of a lot of pitching rotations. Nats have...
This just proves that we need to make some minor moves at the break... top of the list would be a backup catcher. The wild pitch (which virtually any good catcher stops) in the ninth, passed ball in the 11th, were just brutal.
I'll be there, but here's a few priorities for me from my Bronson Arroyo collection. Obviously any rare stuff would interest me (less than like /20), and I can give my cellphone if someone wants to text me about stuff they may find... I can also provide my master needs list to anyone.

I don't have one, but my brother does, and he's giving it away in a contest on his blog: http://eutawstreetcardboard.blogspot.com/
He's trying to raise money for the National in August so he's also selling off most of his collection (aside from his Orioles stuff), and trying to pimp his blog a...
and my prayers have been answered!
Finally a blue /25 Bronson Arroyo shows up (second series), completing my two series rainbow (once it arrives). Well, I still need the Series 1 silver spectrum, but other than that and a printing plate (only made for series 2, if it exists), I've got em all...

ATLANTA -- Braves prospect Evan Gattis will have to wait at least three more weeks before getting a chance to resume playing for Double-A Mississippi. Gattis has been sidelined since May 17 because of strained tendons in his wrist. He suffered the injury while lifting a bag in an...
Two Nats to consider aside from Zimmerman, who has struggled this year: SS Ian Desmond (~.275 and 8 HRs) and 1B Adam LaRoche (.285, 8 HRs, 35 RBIs, Gold Glove level fielding at 1B). WIth losing Mike Morse, Jayson Werth and Wilson Ramos this year, Desmond and LaRoche have carried the Nats'...
Did you actually see him do it? No, you didn't. He did it in the tunnel, where every professional athlete blows off steam. He just happenend to wear a scar afterward. But he actually did it the right way - in the tunnel - rather than punching a gatorade cooler.
Should he have done it? No. Does...
Except it's not old school. Old school would be hitting him after he did something to deserve it. Harper did no such thing, except play hard (which is old school).
To channel Mike Rizzo, this was fake tough---fake old school---by a misguided pretty boy pitcher that rides a carousel with the...
You know a lightbulb just went off in someone's head... buy the house, chop up some pieces (who wants a bathroom linoleum swatch card?), and then re-sell the house...
