However, Lombo gets a shot if Desmond is swapped with Espy.<br /><br />IMO, they probably need them all. Injuries happen and let's face it, the jury is still definitely out on all of the infield except for Zim. They are all still very recent starters. <br /><br />Desmond could end up swapping with Lombo and becoming the utility guy if he slumps or has an injury. Its who things go ... <br /><br />Patience with youth pays huge dividends if there is talent. And there is talent. Let's just wait and let the chips fall where they may as the offense will likely not be any great shakes this year anyway mostly for that very reason.<br /><br />The <b>Bold</b> anonymous.

But we're talking at least 2013 aren't we? Or are we talking as far away as 2014? I know we just have to wait and see how it plays out, but it would be great to see him ready in roughly the same time frame as Stras and Harper.

I've seen opinions that his arm might not be up to it, but he's a third baseman, right? He's had ankle issues, so it'd prolly be good to keep him away from the constant leaping pivots and getting slud into, as a 2B, and as much as I like Desi, he's unlikely to ever hit like the book says AR will. I see him at SS in '14, prolly sooner. Zim, Rendon, Espy, and The Beast.... A fairly productive infield, no?UnkyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10427401050130317607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-23211736790505199002012-03-07T21:35:34.376-05:002012-03-07T21:35:34.376-05:00I seem to be living at odd hours from everyone els...I seem to be living at odd hours from everyone else and here I am again at the end of a thread, but if anyone is out there with an opinion or some knowledge: Can Rendon play short? <br /><br />I know Espi plays it well. But he plays 2B well too. And if Rendon is used to the left side of the IF might he move to SS next year? Or is it really not that big a deal moving him to 2B with the different foot work required? <br /><br />He's rusty, and he's not ready yet, but when he comes around, watch out. By 2014 he and Harper should be making themselves felt offensively.realdealnatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01859440944007854256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-47144767326646040192012-03-07T21:06:30.109-05:002012-03-07T21:06:30.109-05:00Come on.

Bats come around, the glove should be there by now. It ain't. In 2009 when he was called up he made 4 errors in 17 games at SS. In 2010 the excuse for his bad glove was because it was his rookie year. In 2011 it was because he was a new dad. This Spring it's because he's taking his bad AB's with him to the field. <br /><br />He has NEVER gloved well.

I think the 250 at bats is optimistic and I think starting at AA is too high. I think that in the best interest of the club to start him in high 'A' let him have some success and then move him to 'AA' all the while play a position he is good at.<br /><br /> Ultimately his value to the Nats may see him playing for someone else. I think putting him in a position where he is likely to fail will mess up his career and diminish his value to the team.jdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-23993022220986496382012-03-07T18:05:27.501-05:002012-03-07T18:05:27.501-05:00Can anyone find a box score of today's game?Can anyone find a box score of today's game?Cwjnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-1997897533464126612012-03-07T18:00:29.412-05:002012-03-07T18:00:29.412-05:00@Dhamm
