You gotta shout out in the blog -- quit being an attention whore ...

It was about Bergmann's chances of making the opening day roster.

Ladson called it 50/50 but said he almost certainly won't crack the rotation.

ah thanks, i kinda hope he doesn't. This is my ideal of what will come.

Pardon the mistakes of positioning of pitchers.

Lannan
Olsen
Maybe free agent or Perez
Balester
Zimmermann

but as of now I dont know i always change it up (i usually always, in class, write down hypothetical rotations, lineups, etc etc because of the amount of boredom.

I also had Snell in there at 3

I'd rather Martis make it than Zimmermann, at this point, just because Martis has a modicum of ML experience.

Some guy asked if Elijah Dukes had done any full frontal nude modeling. I have no idea who that might have been.

I don't think Martis deserves it, though. He did have one good 5-inning outing against the Marlins, but he just didn't look like an MLB-ready pitcher to me. Maybe he just wasn't ready yet.

Zimmermann is definitely the better pitcher, IMO. He'll be 23 when the season starts, so we shouldn't worry about bringing him up too early. Players shouldn't have to pitch at every Minor League level before being called up to the majors.

Anyone else see the scouting video of Zimmermann pitching in a snowstorm? This is a guy who you want on your team, and you want him to pitch in the WS in late October.

Couldn't find it. It was originally on MLB.com before the draft. It was hardcore.

Sabathia doing 788888888888888888888888888888888888888 8888 (sorry, keyboard cat) full frontal nude modeling would leave much to the imagination.

[MrMadison]

got this in my email box:

Just wanted to thank everybody who sent in e-mails during last night's Nats MLB Winter Meetings special. We had over 30 more e-mails that we didn't have time for & both George Wallace and Craig Heist agreed we could have gone for another whole hour on just the e-mails you guys sent. Thank you again for the support of the broadcast. It's archived as a podcast, for those who didn't hear the entire show, at http://federalnewsradio.com Just click on the "Sports" link and you'll see the icon from the Winter Meetings at the top of the page.
 
We hope to do the same type of show in late February before the boys head down to Viera, FL for Spring Training.
 
Thanks again!

The caller who called about Lannan must've been hammondsnats. Did anyone hear the call and did the caller say that Lannan is a better man than he'll ever be?

i was at a company christmas party but read the transcipt today.  funny though

p.s. was "better man than i will ever be" really mentioned?

[hammondsnats]

Craig Heist is actually a good dude and loves baseball.  Very welcomed especially in this town which really doesn't show a lot of love to the sport.

nice link.  haha just look at his pitch 15 seconds in, the first batter he faces in that video.  absolutely sick stuff.  with him and strasburg - those are two good front of the rotation righties.

Holy crap. Wish the radar gun didn't go haywire and start posting 144 though. But that was amazing.
