He Gets hurt a lot, but as a platoon with Morse could be pretty effective. He has more pop than AL, and he has had a positive UZR the last few years at 1b. Probably could get him for 1/$3m with an option.<br /><br />I just don't think Laroche is anything special.Wallynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-51092051625421428052011-01-02T10:06:27.697-08:002011-01-02T10:06:27.697-08:00I would like a younger guy with upside too, I just...I would like a younger guy with upside too, I just don't see it happening any longer. So i would add a Millwood type because i see the probability of getting 175 innings of acceptable pitching from them higher than Livo, Maya, Martin, Detwiler, et al. Millwood and Bonderman also have the AL to NL move which might help in 2011.<br /><br />They are dumpster diving at this point, and i see value to the organization to increase win totals for reputational improvement to acquire talent next year. This helps, I think.<br /><br />By the way, what is the plan if Espy can't hit .200?Wallynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-69015798484027862532011-01-01T19:38:56.568-08:002011-01-01T19:38:56.568-08:001/2st>0 : I agree.

I think everyone should go into a season with two points of view. #1 - We are going to win the World Series! #2 - If we don't here's a reasonable but optimistic projection. <br /><br />For Nats fans #1 seems silly but that's the point. if Ramos and Espinosa are ROY type players, if Desmond takes another step, if Morse breaks out, if Lannan and Marquis match there better years, if Zimmermann sets himself as a true #2, etc etc maybe they sneak into the playoffs and from there... You have to figure out how your team can do it. That's the fun of being a fan in the offseason. <br /><br />For #2 - I think Nats fans can hope for .500. It's not likely but it's not unreasonable, and it's something to hang the hat on.<br /><br />Wally - I wouldn't just add another question mark (like Millwood) for the sake of doing it. That's why I want a young(er) guy. Give me soemone that can help the Nats in 2011 if they get lucky.Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738813756060133236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-66467600621356548122011-01-01T13:18:31.896-08:002011-01-01T13:18:31.896-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738813756060133236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-79990310095342649682011-01-01T11:10:36.980-08:002011-01-01T11:10:36.980-08:00No reason that they can't trade for a blocked ...No reason that they can't trade for a blocked prospect, otherwise I agree with your point. Put Espy and Storen out there and see whAt comes back. Alonso, Sanchez, maybe Belt? If they go cheap, I would consider Branyan on a 1 year deal to platoon with Morse. He won't play a full season but he has some pop.<br /><br />Also, I would add another starter on a 1 year deal. I care less about the $ than years. Francis, Penny, Bonderman, Millwood would all do. Can't rely on all these question marks. That should at least get them into the mid 70's in wins, which adds to the 'improving' label for next winter.Wallynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-46310110280993395382011-01-01T10:59:48.349-08:002011-01-01T10:59:48.349-08:00Harper-

Let's hope for an unexpected maturation for some of our younger players, and that a number of them play beyond what their potentials were supposed to be.<br /><br />I mean, it is not even Spring Training yet. We can't abandon ship while it's in drydock.Positively Half St.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07048223068323120438noreply@blogger.com
