I dream that all four are gone.

Stuck with a big contract for 1 more year. Move him to 2b and give
Gonzalez ss.

> Johnson?

They'll try to resign him unless they trade him. On one of the trade
rumor blogs, I saw some reporters complaining that the Nats always ask
for too much in return for their trades. They mentioned Bray, Ayala,
Rauch, Milledge, Soriano, Church, Willingham, etc, etc. They said many
gms are too cautious to bite on the Nats bait.

> Willingham?

Will be traded.

> Kearns?

Will finish the season with the Nats and leave via free agency.

Dunn is a trade possibility, but since the asking price is too high,
he'll probably be back. An off season deal for Dunn is more likely.

I'm sure that two grand slams last night can't hurt Willinghams value much.

Yeah, let's trade away one of the players who is "actually" playing
well for some untested pitchers.

How about keeping the lineup we have, fine tune it a bit & sign some
FA reliable pitchers!

But that would cost money! Sure, that would lead to wins, butts in the
seats, and maybe a postseason appearance by 2011, but it would cost
money.

This ownership makes Dan Snyder look good.

I don't care about free agent pitchers, but I want Strasburg signed.
Not signing him would be disastrous.

Let me take that back... nobody is as bad as Dan Snyder.

Yeah, he's the tops.
But this area seems to have real winners. Snyder, Lerners, Peter A.

Ted seems to be pretty decent with the Caps, and now Wizards/Bullets.
