I still cant believe the Nats gave Jason Werth 100+ million. effing idoits
They overpaid and knew they were doing so. That was a one off deal to elevate the perception of the club. Of course then Werth went and just sucked so it worked out about as bad as it could have. If he recovers to be closer to what he was in '10 then the deal will have been worth it. Remember... the Nats were a laughing stock until they pulled the string on that deal. Ohhh and the Lerners are the richest owners in baseball...they can afford it...if they want to. Before the Werth deal Fielder doesn't even consider DC as a destination.

Which is exactly why I blame owners come negotiating time and they claim they are losing money. Yeah, because you are paying bums like this 100 million dollars. DERP

Sounds like Bryce Harper will make the opening day roster if he does well in Spring Training. Not too sure if I like that or not, especially when it comes to arbitration, but we'll see.

Not only that, but I really don't want the arbitration clock to start clicking. If they're going to do it, the need to hold off until June. I agree though, he needs more AB's in the minors. I believe I read he has less than 600?

Anyone plan on heading to the Nationals home opener?Yup, I'll be there with my dad. We've been to every home opener since they moved to DC. It's definitely my favorite tradition.

Yah...expectations are high this year. Not sure if they're quite "there" yet enough to make much of a difference in the NLE. But at least we enter the season with some kind of excitement.

And on Harper: there is ZERO chance he makes opening day roster. It would be a tremendously stupid business and baseball move. Why waste a entire year of team control when he is 23 to have him for an extra month or two when he is 20? Won't happen. He could hit 23 HRs in spring training and he'll still start in AAA.

Yeah I'm excited for this season, will be the first time we go above .500 most likely. As long as players like Morse can keep jacking and LaRoche gets back to his normal play, we should be good.
Not too sure about the whole playoff talks, unless we have two wildcard teams, but nonetheless I'm still excited.
They happen to air the first spring training game on 106.7 the fan on my birthday, so I'll be listening to that for sure!
