Chris Young has voiced his displeasure, and the Washington Nationals answered with an unconditional release. The release comes one day after Young decided it was best to opt out of his minor league deal. It is not that Young did not like what the Nationals had to offer. At his age, he would like nothing [...]
Clearly by now we know that the Washington Nationals have a stacked pitching staff that a lot of experts believe is the best on in the National League. That is great if you are a Nationals fan but not so great if you are a pitcher trying to win a job with the team. Chris [...]
The Washington Nationals had a decision to make during the off-season in whether to keep Michael Morse around or to re-sign Adam LaRoche to play first base. Washington decided to trade Morse away and went ahead with getting LaRoche under contract for another two years. It is now going to be up to him to prove that [...]
Dan Haren had become a player that needed a change of scenery, and signed with the Washington Nationals in the off-season, where he will be counted on to be team’s fourth starter as the 2013 MLB season begins.

The Washington Nationals have decided on who their three everyday outfielders will be for the 2013 Major League Baseball season. Bryce Harper, Denard Span and Jayson Werth will command the three outfield positions this year. This may come as a surprise to anyone who follows the team religiously considering the Nationals have never had just [...]
Jason Werth is just your basic run-of-the-mill lead-off at the top of the Washington Nationals batting order. He is so typical that he has a little too much power and not enough speed. He is liable to drive in over sixty runs this year but probably won’t steal ten bags. How can he be a [...]
