Now that Carter Kieboom is sent down along with Luis Garcia, and probably Starlin Castro and Jordy Mercer, with maybe some Harrison and Perez thrown in, it's time to restart our 3d base thread.
Over offseason, I said a few times I wanted the Nationals to sit tight at 3B. Let's give it some time. If Strasburg, Scherzer, Corbin are dealing, we can go hunting for a 3rd baseman over the summer. If we struggle out of the gates, try out time with minor leaguers and street free agents in the second half.
There wasn't an ideal option in free agency or offseason trade market to address 3B. An infield relying on Harrison, Castro, and Mercer for two of the spots is boring and leaves your lineup shallow, but it also isn't going to kill the season over the course 50 or 60 games.
