Not only as a big leaguer, but a star in the big leagues. Has he played a game yet? Can he throw a ball 50 feet? Did he bat in Instructional League? If not....why? His college stats were with a metal bat. There is a BIG difference when you pick up the wood. How is his shoulder? There are a lot of questions about this kidBig Catnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-44271248254010475842011-12-05T20:24:48.093-05:002011-12-05T20:24:48.093-05:00@ Anonymous:

With Morse able to play LF? <br /><br />Mark, you realize you've just opened that can that had Prince Fielder instead of Prince Albert? As an offensive impact player he is second only to Pujols team mate in St Louis Land Berkman with Pujols right behind?<br /><br />Look not only is Harper close to the majors but? psssssst: there's a guy who hit 30+ homers in 2 minor leagues A+/AA named Tyler Moore that will be looking awfully good to Davey Johnson everytime he looks at the Syracuse box score? And there's the X-factor: Anthony Rendon who may just become one of the best hitters in major league baseball. I'm sure he could play 1st, 3rd and perhaps 2nd base? And there's even Destin Hood, Brian Goodwin and Eury Perez.<br /><br />So, OUTFIELD and even CF really isn't as huge a problem as everyone makes it out to be right? What is the problem is the offense. Last year it was all Michael Morse with some decent help from Zim when he came back from his injury. After that not much. Adding a Fielder immediately changes that dynamic. And another factor one must consider if you are the Nats are the new aggressive Marlins? <br /><br />And c'mon Rizz you already have a CF named Werth? Then you already have a Buehrle, which I bet is what Davey is telling you, except his name is Tommy Milone. If you already have it inside the org why go outside the org? That's silly. Just get Oswalt to mentor the kids and be done with that.

He's pretty good at 1b (I'd hope so as a former shortstop) and a corner outfielder isn't that hard to find on the open market.Kevin Rusch, Section 406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-53994752788467537682011-12-05T18:43:15.735-05:002011-12-05T18:43:15.735-05:00Anon @ 6:19 p.m.,

Can't see it: LaRoche is a question mark, Marrero's on the shelf, and Morse needs to be in the OF. Otherwise Morse is at 1B, and the other outfielder is Bernadina (which answers the previous blog posting). Which means: they still need an outfielder.joemktgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-41854738329580629332011-12-05T17:03:37.626-05:002011-12-05T17:03:37.626-05:00Give Buerhle 3 years with the no trade.. not sure ...Give Buerhle 3 years with the no trade.. not sure what the $$$ would need to be to lock him up.MicheleSnoreply@blogger.com
