A left-handed five tool outfielder they decided to advance to AA from A Harrisburg bypassing A+ Potomac this season. <br /><br />The guy to watch is Anthony Rendon who would have been drafted first overall in 2011 were it not for injury concerns about his shoulder. That's healed but he went out and broke a second ankle. Recovered and now he is in the AFL. <br /><br />Skole is a potential corner infielder, Rendon is a potential third, second, or first baseman. <br /><br />They are the near-term future of the franchise at this point barring trades.<br />perichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02669200119049715758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-58792716332724320172012-10-10T20:39:54.040-04:002012-10-10T20:39:54.040-04:00Manassas Nats Fan -- add Tyler Moore to your list....Manassas Nats Fan -- add Tyler Moore to your list.

...""Champions win the big games"....<br /><br />That phrase is known as a tautology."<br /><br />You are missing the larger point. Baseball is not about phraseology. It's about winning. And attitude has a lot to do with both winning and losing. <br /><br />The Nats were the most dominant team in baseball this year, and the Cards could not win the division title in the weakest division in the NL. Heck, the Cards could not even win the wild card race, and squeaked in with the no. 2 WC slot.<br /><br />The Nats have better talent, but talent does not always win out over determination and grit. Carpenter pitched like a master today, and EJax was awful in the biggest game of the year. The Cards have dominated the most dominating team in baseball to an embarrassing extent.<br /><br />It is the Cards, and not the winningest team in baseball, that is playing like winners, and it is the winningest team in baseball that is playing like losers.<br /><br />The explanation for that goes deeper than pompous trivialities.<br />Laddie Blah Blahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474416524698003749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-90646045590772336212012-10-10T20:31:32.086-04:002012-10-10T20:31:32.086-04:00Feel wood ha ha haFeel wood ha ha hamickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11829941762393424812noreply@blogger.com
