Max has put his McLean home on the market for $15MM after recently buying a $10MM home in Jupiter, FL, Spring Training home of the Cards and Fish, and about 15 minutes north of the Nats WPB ST site...
This is a smart long term move for him. It's not like he is getting another huge deal, maybe 3 years to be a 4-5 at probably something like 15M a season tops. Honestly wouldn't surprise me if he stays in DC because I think the Nats could and would pay for a few more seasons at that rate.
Pretty sure 100% of pitching coaches say they want their pitchers to throw strikes and work quick.
I wonder if he'll retire after this upcoming season. He'll be 37 next year, his kids will be 4 and 2. I wouldn't be surprised if he decides to stay home and be a full-time dad for a while.
Very possible as well. Max always was the guy that would "take himself out of a game" if he felt he didn't have it or felt he couldn't go the distance. He may decide to leave on his own terms and call it a career.In other news, assuming the Pirates decline Chris Archer's option, an incentive laden contract to reunite him with his old pitching coach might be enticing for Archer and the Nats. I am hesitant to give an pitcher coming off TOS surgery a deal though as so few in recent memory seem to come back from the procedure.
Don’t forget change speed - real ground breaking stuff there
Very possible as well. Max always was the guy that would REFUSE TO COME OUT OF THE GAME AND TOLD THE MANAGER SO. He may decide to leave on his own terms and call it a career.
Zuck says Nats hired Jim Hickey. Worked with Davey in Tampa and Chicago (he replaced Bosio).
another interesting guy who was out of a job this year was Jim Hickey. I wonder if Davey has already spoken to him. Would be one of those Madden staff connections.
Yeah, he did that too. Not sure what your point is.
What are you dense? You make it sound like he repeatedly pulls himself out all the time.
Thanks for the insult. Well, I guess people haven't grown up enough for internet back and forth to be alright. I'll see myself out.
Screw that and the horse that wimp rode in on. I can’t recall Max ever coming out voluntarily. He always insisted on staying in.
I tried to fix it for him. He might have been talking about a different Max?
A warning has been issued. DCFan is officially "dense" for that comment.
Nats re-sign Harrison...no details yet..
1 year, $1 million.Hopefully Holt is next.
Please no. His slash line for the year. .211/.283/.274. He’s cooked.
.262 .314 .354 with us, and he plays multiple positions. He's serviceable as a backup IF/OF and a monumental improvement over Difo
Ops for the year means that with his .658 OPS with the Nats, it really raised his year average of OPS to .547. Just how bad was he because with such a small season, the Nats must have had him for a third of the season, right? Unless I'm just completely missing something, that doesn't sound like much of an upgrade over a bag of potato chips, let alone a replacement level player.
