kitekrazy Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 f*** the Marlins. They were never significant to begin with. Question is are the Nationals that good? How would they far against top AL teams. How did they get this good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would they far against top AL teams. How did they get this good? By not having Ozzie But seriously, they got this good because of sucking and getting Strasburg and Harper. Then pulling off a great trade for Gio. Fleecing the Twins for Ramos (though he hasn't been playing this year, still a good deal). Having Zimmerman and Zimmermann. Drafting Storen. Signing E-Jax. Now obviously they lucked into two of the most talented draft picks of all time, but some good moves by that f***er Rizzo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I'd like to see the Nats trade for Denard Span. If they can find a way to keep Strasburg fresh for the postseason, there is no team with a better 1-2-3 in the postseason than they have with Strasburg, Gio and Zimmerman.

Cali Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 If the Sox don't make the playoffs, I'm rooting for the Nats all the way. I just hope they don't pull a "newbie" playoffs performance and get swept in the NLDS. Kinda like the 2010 Reds. I love seeing fresh blood in the playoffs and they got SMACKED.

knightni Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Bryce Harper is my favorite non-White Sox player. He's LeBron with better publicists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 If they can stretch Strasburg into the postseason, they'll be the prohibitive favorites to win the World Series. That pitching staff is absurdly good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General comparison. he brought that upon himself. just compare him to trout for example, complete opposites. like with the whole ozzie thing. im not on ozzies side or anything but look how harper handled that situation. he couldnt just switch bats and just play? nope, had to be a jerk and show ozzie up. but ill leave it at that. either u like him or u dont and i dont and im looking forward to them losing in the playoffs and im sure they will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I understand Kenny's philosophy. Unlike the NFL and NBA, it's hard for draft picks to make an immediate impact unless you trade them for a guy on a MLB roster.

GoSox05 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 @JeffPassan While Mike Rizzo wouldn't pin down a number, he said Stephen Strasburg will not exceed 180 innings.

How does the best team in baseball shut down it's best player? Shutting him down doesn't guarantee health in 2013 or 2014 anyway. He could still injure his arm again. If you have a legit chance to win the WS, you go for it, because it's not promised again. I know how bright Washington's future looks, but s*** happens in baseball. They should be treating him like the Sox have Sale. Give him extra breaks during the year from time to time, so his arm is getting rest, but can still go the whole season.
