Has anyone read anything saying that O's Henderson's little brother is still our 1st round pick in the draft or not.

Holiday not Henderson. Still a lot of folks prediction. See the draft thread at the top of the Farm board.

Imagining a Lile RH3 Crews outfield with maybe Wood at 1st. Hope we keep them all. Young will be forgotten as another weak stick great outfielder

No way they bench Young. He's too valuable in the outfield.

I think the name before dyslexia was brain-fart. At least that's what it usually is in my case.

Zuck mentioned in his pre-game write-up that Corbin's peripherals aren't much different than they were as a Nat. All other things still being equal, keeping your inherited runners from scoring can really affect your ERA and W-L record.

he has much better defense behind him as well than he had in DC.

Nats paying Corbin $10 million to pitch against them

Corbin should get a hand for that performance.

Better defense, better bullpen, and I believe he has a slightly lower arm slot

There were many great players who never played for good teams. There was a book about minor league players on the Yankees who may have been stars but never got a chance do to team owning them. Curt Flood deal to DC was important for player free agency but never went

Ernie Banks comes to mind. I don't think Felix Hernandez every pitched in the postseason

Rangers have been in a funk lately and we”re facing Corbin. That’s the recipe for a complete game shutout…

Well, I was sort of correct
