An important attribute to have in this life. He should be grateful that Cristian Guzman went to the Rangers for a pitcher named Ryan Tatusko. Tom Milone was organization pitcher of the year, and Rosenbaum runner up. They have a lot of fans on this site and many Nats sites who watched them in Potomac.

Desmond has good range but makes a lot of errors. Other shortstops may make fewer errors but get to fewer balls.

I was at last Thursday's game vs. the Braves, Saturday's against the Mets, and yesterday's vs. the Tigers. All losses with little offense, keystone cop defense, and iffy pitching. Then to top it off, I stopped by the minor league complex this morning on the way to Orlando for flight home to Dulles. Bryce hit a routine grounder to short, and then crumpled as he crossed first base. <br /><br />Yes, he was in a good bit of pain. He put absolutely no weight on the left foot when he got up. Didn't catch who the coach was who was in the back of the cart with him as they motored off, but he was cradling Harper's left foot in his lap as they went right past me.<br /><br />As soon as I left the state, the Nats came to life.

Perhaps not but he does have a left-handed bat and arm, better than average speed and a CF glove ... not a corner outfielder's glove. He also has a great arm. Think of Harper as the Nats "Heyward" not Corey Brown. But his offensive stats do indeed match up well with Heyward's do they not? The age difference not-with-standing. <br /><br />He has done things in the minors that no other prospect has yet achieved in the Washington National's system. Will Harper exceed them? That is management's hope and sooner rather than later. But in Brown's case the glass is definitely half-full and not half-empty as the .193 average would seem to indicate when it is left bereft from the rest of his body of work. <br /><br />As Boz said in today's chat: "You can never have too much talent in the outfield and it would be good to have two potential stars in that outfield if Brown and Harper can achieve what they have been projected to accomplish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-28363968291001072572011-03-21T19:50:51.065-04:002011-03-21T19:50:51.065-04:00"Do you have an iphone that does this?

...Well, I am probably going to regret this, but ...<br /><br />I don't read anyone saying not to give Brown a chance. If he didn't get hurt, and played well, I bet he would be in the discussion. But he didn't, so he has to go to Syracuse and earn his way to another chance. If he does, and especially if no one else is doing well, I think that Rizzo calls him up and makes Riggs play him.<br /><br />But Brown equal to Heyward? Of course not. Not even in the same conversation. Does that even really need to be said? I assume Anon is really just saying that he is the best we got, and the rest of the CF are no great <br />shakes, plus kind of old, so why not? Hard to argue that point, although if Morgan is required to stand no more than 3 steps away from the base until the ball is in play, I probably go with him for now.<br /><br />Well, I'll go back to sleep now.Wallynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-71231063322432719412011-03-21T18:59:33.940-04:002011-03-21T18:59:33.940-04:00Maybe I'm JayB ... or maybe I'm Ben Goessl...<i>Maybe I'm JayB ... or maybe I'm Ben Goessling on vacation posting from home?
