Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 07:33 PM) Yeah, Washington. They'd never have 2 separate franchises move out of there to the Midwest! Funny story. The Nats actually are the 21st team in average attendance this year. Know who's #20? The White Sox. Do the White Sox have the potential to sell out every night? We would if we had Strasburg, Harper and Zimmerman. I know Washington's attendance isn't great now. That's why I said potential.

DirtySox Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 07:34 PM) They're pretty broke... Yep. But he has 3 potential plus pitches from the left side. He will be starting and has a chance to be decent if he sticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Washington's attendance isn't great now. That's why I said potential. They were 23rd in the league last year with Stras for part of the year and Zimmerman for the full year. Pretty much every team has the potential to sell out every game under this useless of a standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 07:30 PM) Marlins? lol. Florida is a terrible sports state outside of college football. Washington is not. You're honestly going to tell me in Strasburg an Harper that they don't have the potential to sell-out every night? My point is that you can have great players and still have a bad team. The Cubs have had great players, sucked, and still sold out games. Having sell outs doesn't lead to you having a great team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, if he can field, his impressive slowness will be less noticeable. Also, oh my god, someone gag Harold Reynolds. Intellectual Chernobyl right now.

The Cubs have had great players, sucked, and still sold out games. Having sell outs doesn't lead to you having a great team. They have? They've had good players. Strasburg showed me enough last year to come to the conclusion that IF he's healthy he's extraterrestrial. Harper? C'mon now. I know it's easy to say no prospect is a lock. But he's as close to a lock as it gets. And the sell-out will enable them to supplement the superstar talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming Washington gets sellouts and has wheelbarrows full of cash money, they still have to make the correct free agent signings. That is not a given.

If Jim Bowden was still the GM I'd say Washington is f***ed either way. I admit I go overboard with young prospects. My obsession started in '08 when I subscribed to BA online. And it's no coincidence that around that time or a year later I started killing the Sox for their ineptitude. But even if I wasn't that into them (prospects) I'd feel the same about Washington.

They've got legit pieces but that's not an easy division and to pretend they're suddenly going to double their attendance without a world series win is lunacy.
