Nick Johnson Is The Only Free-Agent Hitter That I'd Sign

[VAfan]

The Nationals are years away. If they can find people that will potentially contribute in 2012/13/14 when their talent will actually start to show up, they will do it in a heartbeat.

 

I live in Nats land. They aren't trading Dunn, period, so don't hold your breath. They've lost 100+ for the last two years, but they cannot afford to gut what's good and start over. Their offense is respectable with Zimmerman and Dunn and Willingham and Morgan at lead off. I expect they'll try to re-sign Dunn beyond next year, as he's the only significant FA who was willing to take their money. Meanwhile, they've drafted pitchers, whom they expect to bring on line while Dunn is still here. The Sox could offer them nothing they would be interested in for Dunn.
