i really like where they are heading they have made some trades to bring in young players with huge upside that have had some off the field issues like dukes/milledge they also have a good young closer in cordero although tonight he had some stiffness in his back they have a good pen i think they will finish last in there division but i think 70 wins maybe pushing towards .500 maybe?
68-72 wins. wouldnt be surprised if their lone all star was milledge but probably kearns or cordero. Good luck controlling Dukes though.
zimmerman and your right about dukes that guy has some serious issues off the field but on the field he has huge talent but who knows how he will do off the field
Are you kidding me? Guzman, Johnson, Kearns, Cordero and the ALMIGHTY ZIMMERMAN!!! We have more talent on this team this year than we have had since... well since their first year!
Ken, I love ya bro but Guzman is like a 230 hitter and thats being generous some years. Johnson is decent but not all star caliber probably because he cant stay healthy long enough to become one, Kearns is ok but not a standout corner OF, and Zimmerman would be blocked most likely from the AS game by Wright, Chipper and probably either Garrett Atkins or Aramis Ramirez. Theyre definitely improving the talent base but the Mets and Braves have much better pitching and imo should win at least 90 apiece, the Phils will mash their way to about 500. That doesnt leave much for the Nats except to beat up on the marlins 18x a year like the rest of the division.
Could surprise some people this year. New ballpark looks great, I'm hoping to make it to a couple games this season there.
Disagree there bro... Johnson is definitely a monster (When healthy I gree) and I expect him to get back to his old ways of a .425 on base player. Zimmerman has been, and will continue to be, the brightest star on this team. What is he now, in his 3rd year? The kid can and has made game changing plays on the field and at bat... While I will agree with you on Guzman to a point, I feel that this guy is going to have a breakout year. My only concern about this team is the pitching... They have not looked bad so far in regular season, but I think we have a couple of holes to fill there... I will predict that the NATS are a 100 game win team this year...
I dont think they are going to win the divsion because it is s hard and they are a young team. But they could be a tough team to play. In a few years they will be really good and win the divison
