Nats off season

 Sorry I have not posted in a while but I have been busy. Any way so the Nats didn't sign Prince Fielder this offseason which really kinda stinks. A lineup with fielder in it might look a little like this:
1. Desmond
2.Werth
3.Zimmerman
4.Fielder
5.Morse
6.Ramos
7.Espinosa
8.Bernindina/Cameron
9.Pitcher.
            Good huh? Any way The Nats did make a pretty big move this ofseason trading for A's Allstar pitcher Gio Gonzalez. However the Nats did have to pay a pretty high price sending away 4 top 30 prospects ranked by Baseball America. Derek Norris, AJ Cole,Brad Peacock,and Tom Millone.Thats a lot to give up but Gio Gonzalez is a consistent pitcher who gives you around a 3.00 ERA. With this move Our rotation is this:
1.Strasburg. Though he is coming off Tommy John surgery and will be limited to 170 Innings, He will probably sit out a Month in the middle of the season but who knows we might have Bryce Harper by then.
2.Gonzalez. He can post a low ERA and give you a lot of well needed innings. Gonzalez strikes out a lot of batters but also walks a lot of people. He led the league on the bad end of walks last year but he doesnt let those guys score which matters the most.
3.Zimmermann. He put up by far his best season in the majors posting a 3.18 Era. He was held to only 161 innings because he was also coming off Tommy John surgery. He will benefit from having two pretty good starters teaching him.
4.Wang. He had good glimpses of what he could be so we gave him another shot by signing him for two more years. He will also benefit from having good pitchers around him. His best game was last year after he no hit the Cubs for 6 innings last year.
5. Lannan. Two years removed from being the number one starter he has dropped to number five because of inconsistency, Despite being the only Nat to win double digit games last year. Theres been some trade talks about him going to the Angels for Peter Bourgeis which I think works for both teams. We would get a center fielder which we didnt get over the offseason. Also The angels already have 4 great starters with the addition of CJ Wilson and Lannan fits Perfectly in the Angels rotation. GO NATS! I leave you with the 2012 projected starting lineup.
1.Desmond
2.Werth
3.Zimmerman
4.Morse
5.Ramos
6.Espinosa
7 Laroche
8.Cameron
9.Strasburg
See Ya in Florida!

Pitching rules

In this league pitching wins divisions. Its too bad the Nats have only 2 good pitchers Strasburg and Zimmermann. And I know what you're thinking. I said yesterday That Zimermann was bad but then i looked at his stats and they are good. The Nats have pitching on the way but it will be a while. The Phillies have 4 pitchers that would be one starters on every team. Plus a pitcher Named Vance Worley who is 9-1 with a 3.67 ERA. YIKES. GO NATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On a other note I read a lot of my dads posts on his blog"Carolina and Hellenic Blue" and I am sorry about the names mix up. For example Jason Coffey. Go Nats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eat it Phils!

Huge series win against the best team in baseball the Phillies. A big reason this felt so good is that the Phillies fans INVADED Nats park And to take 2 of 3 is huge. They came back on both of their wins starting with game 1 with 6 runs in the ninth capped off by a walk off slam by Zim. Then today down to their last strike a doo da dippity (home run) by Ian Desmond to tie it and Gomes with a walk off hit by pitch. EAT IT PHILLIES LETS GO NATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jayson Werthless

Jayson Werth, The 126 million dollar man is batting 223. with 12 homers and 37 RBI. If those were his stats last year Im paying him 2 million. The Nats would probably rather give 126 million to any one (except  Brian Bixler) than Jayson Werthless. Lets go Nats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nats flips rule!!!!

I have discovered a hidden gem. Its called nats flips. They are Nationals flip flops that whenever i wear them we are 14-0. Anyone remember the comeback against the m's? I put on my Nats flips. Lets go nats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zimmer...man

The face of the franchise is out till midseason with some injury he got sliding. He was scheduled to come of the DL yesterday but they said he would have to undergo surgery. And to make Every thing a little bit worse Bryce Harper is not mlb ready till 2013 so we might as well be waiting till 2013 even though well have Strasburg he wont make us a championship team as you learned from last years brief playing. man...

man oh man

Nats begin and they  lose
