10/11 offseason

He'd swing and miss with the 12 gauge though.

Beaten. I was trying to think of a strikeout joke.

yes to crawford, yes to lee, yes to spending to make your team better.

[PANatsFan]

Werth, Reynolds, Lee or Greinke.

[hammondsnats]

Werth, Reynolds, Lee or Greinke.

Get at least two.  Prefer Werth and Lee.

Sorry, I want the two hitters and 1 pitcher.

[Nathan]

I hope it happens.

crawford is better than reynolds ... let's get both crawford and werth! 

[Vega]

I wonder where the Showalters plan on playing Reynolds?

[xposbrad]

Does Reynolds ever strike out?

[ronnynat]

crawford is better than reynolds ... let's get both crawford and werth! 

How about LaRoche, Crawford, Pavano and Penny (if healthy)? Not going to happen, but I'd be happy with those four.

So would I. The team has many options open to them like this one that would improve the team. They are holding this team back, though, to make it happen.

Espinosa
Crawford
Zimmerman
LaRoche
Willingham
Morse/Bernadina
Desmond
Ramos
Pitcher

with

Pavano
Penny
Zimmermann
Lannan
Marquis/Maya

That's pretty solid.

how about just signing MULTIPLE stud free agents for a change ... so we can all stop talking about LAC vs. LANC, I can start buying Nats gear again and renew season tickets and we can field a competitive team!!!

Because you know that will never happen hence the "LAC crusade" (which I am a part of).

[ronnynat]

I think we're going to trade Lannan and a prospect for something. Especially if we sign a lefty (Pavano, Lee).

this. stop hoping guys, honestly

[HalfSmokes]

I like this board, but I'm checking out if the offseason baseball threads for a while- quite frankly the team disgusts me. If I lived in MoCo instead of VA, I'd consider jumping to the Os

He ain't no Dick Cheney.

BP's John Perrotto with a brief comment:

The Nationals would prefer to part with left fielder Josh Willingham rather than highly sought shortstop Ian Desmond in a trade for a starting pitcher.

[PANatsFan]

BP's John Perrotto with a brief comment:

No one is trading pitching. Reynolds for relivers? I bet they need to trade BOTH.

[The Chief]

BP's John Perrotto with a brief comment:

600 pounders don't get preferences.

According to a blog, with 'sources' close to the Nats.... we're about to sign Werth.

[houston-nat]

I was in Maine yesterday and a radio host said we were about to sign Mark Teixeira.

That said, the fact that there has been TOTAL silence regarding the Nationals and Werth suggests to me that it might actually happen.

[houston-nat]

Werth wants a 6-year deal. He'll turn 32 next year. Would Rizzo really give him that?

[EdStroud]

Pavano is a righty

hopefully but blogs are usually the thing I don't believe in. It always reminds me of that guy that came over and wanted hits on his website. Remember he said he knew we'd sign Tex? or some crap like that.

Might just be writing that because he has nothing else to lose and if it happens he can be the guy that says "I told you so!"
