    My recollection is that he had surgery and missed the beginning of last season. It was a good sign that after he returned he did play the remainder of the season. That might be a good sign that there is no chronic problem. On the good side, he 's cheap salary-wise and on only a one year contract like you said.

    Yep, Morse is a better risk than Napoli on any deal if he has a bad hip.
  3. a700hitter
    He's the catalyst. When he is hot the team wins big and it makes us think that the team is better than it is. That is how hot he gets when he goes on a tear. It is the times when Pedey is not hot that you can see what kind of team we have.

    Not adequate?
  5. a700hitter
    I would be horrified to think Salty is an option at 1B.
  6. a700hitter
    Morgan didn't have 3,000 hits nor did Sandberg. If Pedey gets another MVP, gets 200 career HRs or 1,000 RBI, that would put him in consideration as a second baseman.

    Jacko has been a good member for a long time.
  8. a700hitter
    Joe Morgan was undersized like Pedey. His body held up long enough to make the HOF. Personally, I would never count Pedey out of anything.
  9. a700hitter
    Smoak's still carries the dreaded "P" word. Potential.
  10. a700hitter
    Whatever, it just seems like you are not satisfied until you extract an admission. I don't think that is being friendly. Do you?
  11. a700hitter
    And when I am wrong I will admit it. There was no justifying of anything on my part. With all of the fantasy leagues that I participate in, I am up on the latest developments regarding team's pitching rotations. Do you really think that I thought Wang was in the Nats rotation all season? I didn't. I had picked up Detwiler in at least one of my leagues during the season, so I knew what he was doing.
  12. a700hitter
    I don't think that the reply posted below was a "countering. " I agreed with your post and gave an explanation of how things were viewed before the start of the season. That was hardly a contentious reply.
  13. a700hitter
    Well now we can be sure that the DBacks are serious about trading him and that it is not just a charade.
  14. a700hitter
    I wasn't wrong. I was well aware that Detwiler had many more starts than Wang and in fact, Detwiler had locked down a rotation spot during the season. I just didn't state what I meant clearly enough, and I have since provided sufficient explanation. What is your point? Are you one of those people who is never satisfied until someone capitulates and throw themselves at your feet for forgiveness.:lol:

    By way of additional detail, Detwiler went to Spring training behind Wang and Lannan on the Nats depth chart. In fact, when Wang went down, it was Lannan, not Ddetwiler, who was named the 5th starter by Davey Johnson, even though that never materialized. http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2012-03-26/sports/35447617_1_washington-nationals-ross-detwiler-john-lannan
  16. a700hitter
    Yes, and I clarified with additional detail several posts ago.
  17. a700hitter
    You would have to think that Napoli's market has evaporated with all the talk about his hip. We are probably bidding against ourselves.
  18. a700hitter
    http://www.federalbaseball.com/2012/10/26/3560648/is-the-washington-nationals-chien-ming-wang-experiment-over It was no secret that Davey Johnson wanted Wang in the rotation. He would have broke camp as the 5th starter, but he got injured. When he returned Johnson, put him back into the rotation even though Detwiller was doing pretty well. I don't know what you feel mislead about. The Nats had tremendous depth in their starting staff last year. They had 3 guys competing for the 5th spot and of the 3, Detwiler had the least experience starting, and he did not have the inside line on the job. That was a nice position for the Nats to be in, and not only didn't they miss a beat when Wang went down, but Detwiler emerged. By looking at Vasquez among others they are looking to build depth similar to what they had last year. That's the point that I was making.
  19. a700hitter
    Because Wang was injured.
  20. a700hitter
    At the start of the year the Nats had Wang targeted to br the #5 starter and Detwiler was a depth or swing option. Wang went down early and Detwiler won the job. That happens at times with the guys who start the season as the depth option.
  21. a700hitter
    I wouldn't want them near Fenway, not even taking tickets at the turnstiles.
  22. a700hitter
    Kotchman? Nick Johnson? Please no!
  23. a700hitter
  24. a700hitter
    I disagree. He could get 30 starts with a terrible team like Miami and lose 15 or 20 games. With the Nats, he might only get 10-15 spot starts for injured pitchers, but he'll be pitching for. A better team and probably be performing at a higher level, because he is over 40 and a whole season would wear him out. Contributing on a playoff team is something he said that he wants to do.
  25. a700hitter
    Yep those are the stats. He was removed from the rotation early in the season when Wang returned from injury. Wang's return didn't last long and Detwiler returned to the rotation. Wangs was slotted to be the #5 guy going into the season. That's my recollection. Wang blew up, and that is why depth is so important,m
