Again, the one thing that changed is that Stan is not in town anymore. It cannot be proved in anyway, but at least that slimebag gets 0% credit.
DO NOT WANT Paps.He's on the downslope.Give me Bard!
disagreed. but maybe the nats are delivering on their word they are going to be actively aggressive this offseason. i can't remember what media "hack" (lol potomac cannons) said it but they called it back in october that the nats would be aggressive. we can talk the talk, but we did a little bit of walking with the signing of werth. let's continue to walk the walk.
if I am Rizzo I am saying all the right things publicly to the other execs. but in my mind I am saying "eat a dick."nobody complains when the Yankees, Cubs, Red Sox and mets hand out super-mega contracts.but since its the lowly Nats, we can't get good players. freak those execs. freak em with a M16.
bard seems like a rizzo kinda guy. agreed paps is on the decline, but he's had a pretty good career.
Broxton. The Red Sox aren't going to part with Bard.
Paps is a former starter. He could be had for the rotation.
I love it, though. It's always been the "lowly Nats" vs. the world. The saga continues. This is why I have this intense desire to see the Nats get really good and just own everyone else in the league.
That media hack was me. (do a post search).I guess I moroned on to it, but wait and see has been good to Nats fans these past few days.
Putz wouldn't be a bad add either, he had a great year in Chicago.
Ahem...
I just hope we acquire enough quality people so we don't have to suffer with Garrett Mock or Luis Atilano.
@wordmandc: The #Nationals will use Willingham and/or Jordan Zimmermann to trade for a top notch pitcher like Zack Greinke & Matt Garza
Too late to convert Papelbon into an effective starter
Look, imagine being a Diamondbacks fan. Your team just non-tendered Church for God's sake. You just traded Mark Reynolds for 2 relievers and Melvin Mora. James Shields is your great savior. They almost traded Upton. What a mess.
We've been there.
The Pirates reached a tentative agreement with lefty Scott Olsen on a one-year, incentive-laden deal, reports MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch. Olsen's agent Matt Sosnick tells MLBTR "nothing is done yet." Langosch says the deal will become official if Olsen passes a physical later this week. He'll have a base salary in the $1MM range, tweets Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Olsen, 27 in January, posted a 5.56 ERA, 5.9 K/9, 3.0 BB/9, 1.1 HR/9, and 46.5% groundball rate this year in 81 innings for the Nationals. Olsen had labrum surgery in July of '09 and was sidelined for much of this season with soreness.
Why? Derek Lowe did it at 29. About the same age Paps is right now.
Imagine being a Pirates fan. Your big FA is Scott Olsen.
