If Desmond plays, AG or Orr will - Guzman will not be playing 2nd this season.

Who gives a flying freak? What do the Nats have to lose? I say try him in clean-up if they think it could spark something!

Agreed. Might as well see what he's got. Don't want a team full of people who skulk and underperform if they're asked to bat out of their preferred spot

Good point

Also, my thought is that Desmond might see better pitches in the 2-hole. Since you may eventually want him there anyway, might as well try him out there rather than stick him lower in the line-up and get a skewed idea of his skills.

He sure as hell has looked like a professional hitter, hasn't he.

"It's been real cool," he continued. "I just came back from Toronto. I went to watch my brother [Delwyn] play.

1) Delwyn Young is not related to Dmitri.

2) Dmitri is a dick. He is still employed. He should retire if he wants a summer off.

KnorrForYourMoney · « **Reply #17 on:** September 12, 2009, 08:52:08 pm »

Sanchez can't hit the zone tonight. They really need to force the issue and drive up his pitch count.
