Davey is the only reason Strasburg turned into what he was in 2019.

If we had gotten this guy in 2016, we'd have more than one word series by now

Uhhhhhh

What I heard from inside the organization was that there were two disruptive forces that left and allowed the Parras and Sotos and other guys shine and build their own clubhouse culture

One of them, he said, was a “clubhouse lawyer”

Sadly, I think he meant Harper, who I once really liked, and Werth, who is one of my favorite players ever

Nobody badmouths the skipper ever.  But I never heard and of the recent managers messed up

I do believe that Martinez (who hates being called Davey), messed up the batting order in the first months

It’s hard to believe Harper was a clubhouse lawyer. He is not that bright. More likely Werth.

Right.  It was the first question asked at his first press conference and he said "Dave".

"Clubhouse lawyer" is often used as a pejorative term, "clubhouse" being used to mean "self-appointed".

Are you implying that Werth is bright?

It was clear from reading articles over the years that Werth was considered a leader in the clubhouse.nfor better or worse.  He helped lead the mutiny on Matt Williams. In contrast Harper never appeared to take any interest in anyone other than himself and his own performance. Basically just the opposite of a clubhouse lawyer.  Not a team leader. To me a clubhouse lawyer is someone trying to be a team leader.

Davey just has to make it 60 games to be the first Nats manager to last 3 full seasons.

I'd say he's safe for the duration no matter what happens.

They're playing in a pandemic- no manager is safe for the duration

Nightengale says it's a 3-year deal worth about $2.5 million.

Davey should be good for the rebuild or retool or whatever they want to call it. Expectations will be low.  Except among the delusional.

Is that per year or total?
