So, Are the Nats Better Off?
Follwing up on the previous post about the Washington Nationals being named the off-season's biggest losers, and the repsonse thereto, I thought a look at the numbers instead of assuming the Nats were better off now than they were at the end of last season was in order. The question is simply...
The 2009 Season Got Underway For The Washington Nationals Late Last September...
To The Future and Beyond With Washington's Nationals... I believe the 2009 season began on September 28th, 2008, the moment Emilio Bonifacio's weak grounder reached the glove of Phillies' first baseman Chris Coste, who tossed to the Philly pitcher Clay Condrey covering first, to finish off the...
Washington Nationals' Season In Revie...How About A Look Forward Instead...
Instead of looking back, which folks are wont to do in the intervening week between the Holidays and the New Year, let's look forward, after all, who wants to relive a 102-loss season, wasn't one time through that experience enough? There's a new year next week and a new season in late March, early...
The NL East's Arms Race...Can The Washington Nationals Keep Pace With The Division.

AFL Update...Nationals' Prospects In Action In Arizona...PLUS An Update On "The Plan".
AFL UPDATE... It's been a while since I checked in with the Nationals' prospects in the Arizona Fall League with all this trade talk distracting me from the onfield action out West, but the last time we did the Peoria Saguaros held a tenuous 1.0 game lead over the AFL American Division's...

In a 9/20/08 article entitled, "Milledge may be placed in corner for '09", by Washington Post sports writer Chico Harlan, DC GM Jim Bowden was said to have told fans gathered at an ESPN Zone Q&A, that Washington would, "...explore a position change in the outfield 'to upgrade our defense,'" this...
Washington Nationals Acquire Scott Olsen And Josh Willingham From Florida For Emilio Bonifacio And Two Prospects...
So, I guess Anderson Hernandez is going to be playing second in DC in 2009. Emilio Bonifacio, acquired by the Nationals from Arizona before the Trade Deadline last July in return for the Tallest Pitcher in MLB History, closer Jon Rauch, and called at the time the second baseman of the future in...
Nationals Get Josh Willingham, Scott Olsen from Marlins
Another strange trade. For the Marlins, who get infielders Emilio Bonifacio and Jake Smolinski and pitcher P.J. Dean, this is pretty standard. They trade two guys who are about to get expensive for some young players, and as those things go, they've done pretty well here. Bonifacio has been...
Olsen, Willingham to Nationals
The Marlins have reportedly dealt Scott Olsen and Josh Willingham to the Nationals. Going back to Florida? Emilio Bonifacio, P.J. Dean, and Jake Smolinski. I got nothing. Maybe zywica can shed some light on those guys.
