Sunshine Squad 2022 - It Can Only Get Better (& it has)

[Natsinpwc]

The really good defensive version of Robles has been hanging around for a while now. That'll be enough to keep him around. He's still under control for a while, so, unless he's traded, I'd be surprised if he's not here. I don't think they'll simply cut him.

bWAR of 1.8. He is going nowhere. Davey needs to give him some tough love for the baserunning and throwing mistakes. Mental errors. The nice guy approach has not worked. I would have benched him totally the last few weeks to get his attention.

Nats were 10-9 with Abrams, Garcia, and Ruiz in the lineup this year.

Wrong thread

no, this is the 'it can only get better' thread, that lineup could potentially be light-years better than 2022.

New ownership wants to win now so the Nats pursue several big free agents. -Brittany Ghiroli

[JCA-CrystalCity]

They first have to get financing, then get selected, then approved.  Sign Xander and play him at 3rd, sign Trea and play him at short, move Abrams to center.  DO IT RIZZO!!!

[Natsinpwc]

Doesn’t seem to make sense grammatically.  So they want to win now (2023) so they can pursue free agents subsequently?  Or should she have written new ownership wants to pursue free agents so the Nats can win now?

Doesn’t seem to make sense on a lot of levels

So you think Carter Kieboom has a better future than Meneses?  At least Meneses has proven he can hit big league pitching in a limited time.

So Brady House has been found?

Who is "Carter Kieboom"? Is he as real a George Santos?

[imref]

I’d be pretty happy if Meneses is still a starter in 2025 but I’m not counting on it.

[Senatorswin]

It will be maybe the most interesting thing about the Nats this year to see if Meneses is the real deal, We can only hope at this point. I will be very surprised if Kieboom mounts to anything.
