Nationals VERY interested in BJ Upton

[ljw29]

BJ belongs with the Nats and being with Zimmerman and closer to his family will do him a lot of good. So Nats need to pony up Storen, Coffey, and Cole and say Adios and hello BJ

You would give up a top 50 prospect, and storen for upton. That's to much IMO as the nats need a Obp guy, not a power guy

As a huge Nats fan since they came to DC, everyday and twice on Zimmermans birthday

but if we traded Storen, we would have to find a new closer. Clippard has been bad in save situations, HRod is to wild, Burnett is terrible, Detwiler is the long man, and Mattheus is anything but a shure thing. Findinf good relivers is easy, finding good closers is harder. I feel the Upton is not the guy the nats should be looking for, as they would be paying for his potential, and his power. We already have Espinosa, Morse, Werth, Zimmerman, and even Nix to some extent that can hit for power, we dont have anyone that can leadoff. If we are going to give away key pieces like Cole, Storen, and guys under team control for a long time, I want a guy that fills a desperate need.
