Is that really what you want to&#8230; oh, hold on&#8230; have you met my new friend, centerfield defense? Yeah, he hasn&#8217;t really ever been here before.

		<description><![CDATA[This week, the Nationals attempted to send two relievers down to the minor leagues &#8211; Kip Wells and Jesus Colome. Both rejected this premise and instead filed for free agency. The Nats probably knew this was gonna happen, and probably didn&#8217;t much care. Wells was a shot in the dark and he didn&#8217;t work out.

Just that once again I have thought of him plus Zimmermann, Detwiler, Strasburg and Lannan swimming through my head.

		<description><![CDATA[Scott Olsen looked good for the second game in a row. Not great yet, but good enough to make me wonder if he could be part of the rotation for a few years. Remember, he is still under the Nats control for 2 more years after this.

He&#8217;s only batting .244/.308/.415 this year, and in the last month he&#8217;s dropped .100 points of OPS and has hit only .198/.253/.333.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure I like this book so far. The Nats have traded perennial complainer and potential star Lastings Milledge away, along with ace closer Joel Hanrahan. In exchange they get Nyjer Morgan and Sean Burnett from the Pirates.
What They Get
Well, the big piece that everyone is probably excited about it Nyjer Jamid Morgan. I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nationalsreview.wordpress.com&blog=774647&post=1960&subd=nationalsreview&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like Josh Willingham. I liked when they got him in the trade for Bonifacio. More on that later. As for Willingham, he is a decent OFer, a guy who can hit 25 HR in a season and get on base. And the Nats have control of him for 2 more years. But I really [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nationalsreview.wordpress.com&blog=774647&post=1955&subd=nationalsreview&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
