Morse or LaRoche

I just hope it's not the O's.  That would suck.

[Kevrock]

If it's the O's, I'm bumping the Fire Rizzo thread.

[Ray D]

Trade Span instead.

Significant interest in Michael Morse, source says. Again, no surprise. He's a fairly affordable cleanup hitter.

[DPMOmaha]

I don't care where he goes, as long as it's not within the division.  That there's a solid amount of interest in him is a good sign.

[Kevrock]

To some of us DC natives, the O's should be considered part of our division when considering trade offers.

The O's are worse than in division- the Phillies didn't spend years trying to keep a team out of DC

[GburgNatsFan]

I agree.

Feeling this way about players is a negative side-effect of having a good team to root for.

sigh.  Morse might not have been the best player on this team, but he was in many ways the heart of it.  I'm going to miss him.  That being said, I think keeping LaRoche for the next two years was the right move.

Uh, no. If they offer something good, we should take it.

[Ray D]

Uh, no. If they offer something good, we should take it.

What do the Os have that we want?

[Minty Fresh]

Skins is the new Nsider

Insane freaking SkinsNDeacs!

[Kevrock]

Uh, no. If they offer something good, we should take it.

Uh, no. Let their franchise burn.

[HalfSmokes]

Uh, no. If they offer something good, we should take it.

I'd rather the lesser return than doing anything to help the Os improve.

[Tyler Durden]

Agree with taking less being preferable to trading him to the O's.  Let them cheer for Nate McLouth.

[Vega]

What do the Os have that we want?

Brian Matusz was very good out of the pen for them towards the end of the year (Admittedly a small sample size.) and he'd offer some rotation insurance if Haren gets hurt. Xavier Avery could be included as well.

[SkinsNDeacs]

You are welcome

Not to take a victory lap but my source is nearly impeccable in regards to the Nats. I don't talk to him often but I trust with near 100%. He gave me this info because he thought I was depressed about RGIII.

[houston-nat]

fixed

[JCA-CrystalCity]

How do you spell SkinsNDeacs - Svrluga!  jk

Part of me wants Morse to the Os so I can see him on MASN.  That's a sick thought.  Can you hear the Balmorons singing Take on Me?

[natspride]

Consensus on thier board seems to be Troy Patton/Brian Matsusz for Morse....though some of them think Morse isn't worth it.

Taaaake On meee.....

[Upark25]

I want the Nats to trade him to the Mariners. They are loaded with pitching prospects!

[The Chief]

I'm going to miss him.  That being said, I think keeping LaRoche for the next two years was the right move.

This captures my feelings perfectly.
