Lots of Washington Nationals news and comment as we slowly move closer to pitchers and catchers reporting. I wore a Nats cap today to work for the first time in a long while.
First off, Wilson Ramos kidnapping in Venezuela is detailed in this week’s Sports Illustrated.
Breaking this morning was the Nats plan to have a [...]
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Over the years, I have wondered out loud why the Washington Nationals marketing has been so bad. They have done a poor job putting their brand out there, I’m not saying the Nats need have co-branded sponsorships for EVERYTHING or that they need “The Toyota Scoreboard brought to you by Honda” like [...]
The Hot Stove has gone cold for the Washington Nationals — Prince Fielder, the biggest free agent left, signed with the “mystery team” — the Detroit Tigers . The terms 9 years, $214 million for a player who weighs 275 lbs and has “early onset old player skills” written all over him. Good luck Tigers, [...]
The Nats’ (updated) all-time stat leaders – Nats Insider
Going all the way back to 2005, Mark Zuckerman compiled the Washington Nationals all-time statistical leaders. He provided this warning:
WARNING: Reading these lists will elicit a wide range of emotions, from smiles to frowns to laughter to tears to sheer dumbfoundedness (and yes, I know that’s not [...]
Arbitration run-down: everybody eligible except John Lannan and Michael Morse (Nationals Journal, The Post) have agreed to contracts. Payroll is up above $70 million. Neither of those guys needs to be locked-up long-term in my mind.
Tyler Clippard returns with a one year deal. (Nats Insider)
Newly acquired Gio Gonzalez will get $42 million through 2016 with [...]
There has been a lot of coverage on Twitter, blogs and even the national media about Prince Fielder joining the Washington Nationals. I have thought it over and still conclude that he’s a DH with looming early on-set “old player skills.” Would he help the 2012 Nats? Yes, but anything longer than a 5 year [...]
We don’t know how much change we’ll see in media covering the Washington Nationals in 2012, but there is now an official departure. Ben Goessling will be leaving MASN to go back to his hometown paper, the Pioneer-Press in St. Paul to cover the Minnesota Twins. I haven’t read him regularly since he moved to [...]
Chien Ming Wang will return to the Washington Nationals with a 1 year deal (press release), his third contract with the Nats. He originally signed in 2010, but missed the whole season rehabbing from surgery for a torn shoulder capsule. He finally pitched last summer and performed well enough for both parties to want him [...]
Rooting Interests: Who are D.C. fans? – The Post
The Post did a survey on Washington D.C. sports fans attitudes, favorite teams/owners, etc. recently. It mostly confirms what we already know about D.C. area fans:
“Washington fans are really a wonderful blend of the best parts of Northern tier fans and Sun Belt fans,” former Washington Nationals [...]
I predicted Davey Johnson would be the Washington Nationals manager as far back as 2006. I figured it would be for 2007 though. So, I was off by 4 years…
Johnson coming back was a foregone conclusion the moment he signed on after Jim Riggleman resigned. He’s talking big already — the 2012 pennant? Creating expectations [...]
