Great pickup. His skillset gives Goodwin next year and the year after to develop. Much cheaper than Bourn and likely better for a table setter. Defense is not Bourn, but still elite. Plus he is a DC native!
Sucks to lose out on Meyer, but I think that could mean the Nats mean real business with Greinke. Meyer was the "closest" pitcher to the rotation, and it would have been a crapshoot if he was a starter or reliever. He has two pitches and I think Slate saw him pitch in the minors this year and said his change looked like a dang beach ball everytime he threw it. I really like him though and will follow him just as I did with Milone and Peacock.
At this point, I'd let LaRoche walk. Morse at 1B with .280 and 30 bombs is going to be fine. Not as nimble on defense, but I think the defense will be better with Zimm's shoulder healed up.
