Anybody been to a Caps game lately?
Anybody want to give me a hard time about my beloved Washington Nationals?
(Rhetorical questions both.)
From a Washington Post chat today:
Falls Church, Va.: I don't understand the Nationals. This offseason is shaping up like the Homestead spring of 1995. So why don't the Nationals overpay on a bunch of one-year contracts, with bonus money to lower the actual salary itself? Then in June and July, trade off the guys who do well, or harvest the picks when they leave as free agents. That maintains flexibility and gives you some assets to use this season.Dan Steinberg: "Overpay on a bunch of one-year contracts" = not part of The Plan.
The one thing that keeps me from being incessantly critical: so much of this resembles the Caps, right down to the No. 1 pick in a year when you really, really want to be picking No. 1. Is Strasburg the Southern Cali Ovechkin? It's not an impossible thought.
Bowden did say over the weekend that signing free agents who would bring those compensatory picks if they leave is something they have and will continuie to consider.
Hello terrific blog! Does running a blog similar to this
require a large amount of work? I've no understanding of programming however I was hoping to start my own blog in the near future. Anyway, should you have any ideas or tips for new blog owners please share. I know this is off topic however I just needed to ask. Kudos!
Creating cool blog is not harder than creating terrific information. But you know that you done both pretty well. Thank man.
