Greinke didn't want to come to the Nats, so the Nats came to him :

ha.

Who could possibly think it'd be a good idea to acquire guys that the Nats have deemed not good enough to play in DC?

Wil Nieves might be a better hitter now than Pudge, though.

Lastings Milledge-- still screwing up fly balls and allowing runs to score.

Morgan went 3 for 4 with a triple last night

Peralta was cruising until his D committed an error behind him to let Wells on. Kendrick and Trumbow followed him up with a couple of base hits. Looks a lot like the 10th for Storen yesterday.

Lol, really? Wow. His MLB career is dead in the water now, obviously GMs not graced with knowing him now will realize what those who have had the Milledge experience already know: He's poison.

I agree that Lastings was lazy and boneheaded but I don't recall anything toxic that he did. Am I missing something?

He didn't fit neatly into the cookie cutter player that people wanted him to be.

He skipped a mandatory team meeting the night before the start of the 2009 season.

Obed_Marsh · « **Reply #170 on:** April 08, 2011, 02:18:30 pm »

I guess YMMV for what constitutes a toxic player. I don't think he goes much beyond putz. Granted he lacks the talent to dog it. I wonder if he will latch on someplace.

Who wanted this? And what exactly is a cookie cutter player? A good player?

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #172 on:** April 08, 2011, 02:28:09 pm »

Maybe some people care... but I don't care if the player is a complete dick just as long as he produces.

If you suck, and you're an ass, then we've got problems.

Sounds like you just invoked the Greinke Law of Player Assholiness.
