As long as we don't sign Zach Houchins, I'm all good.

If that's the type of 'character' guys Rizzo wants in the organization, then we've got major problems.

I'm guessing this will get picked up by other blogs, the Nats will find out about it, and they won't sign him.

The Nats should have done their research before they drafted him. So stupid

The way I look at it... I'm just doing my part to help free up money to sign Purke.

Agreed. Wonder who is (or should be) responsible for cross-checking character. I'm guessing scouts? Either way it's on Rzo.

He doesn't, but I certainly agree that this deserves sharp criticism.

Maybe, maybe not. But I learned a long time ago to not judge athletes by their tweets or FB posts.

Better to judge them by their own words than words written about them.

Somebody will start nagging about people being PC and how he's really a good kid.

Not me, even if I do think people are overreacting.

There's no doubt the kid could use a lesson or twenty on how to conduct himself on Twitter. Doesn't make him the anti-christ, though.

There's a fine line in being non-PC and being an idiot that doubles as a bigot.

This kid is mentally 5 years old. Makeup is a scouting criterion. This was poor scouting.

It's my experience that kids like Zach aren't bigots, they're usually the exact opposite but are too ignorant to realize stuff like that coming from a white kid doesn't fly in the real world.

Somebody will set him straight.

This. Also, I hate to sound old, but I have no idea how kids talk to each other now. Maybe it just sounds to us like he's being an jerk.

I don't think the N word is acceptable for use, in any age group.
