If we get Wang (& I think we will) do you think Rizzo will keep digging for more SP's - I hope so because I would love to see our young guys start out at Syracuse with maybe a little less pressure.sjm105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-9917035565857580192010-02-10T14:16:02.236-05:002010-02-10T14:16:02.236-05:00Hey Mark, Great job on the Blog.

How about a slick trade that gets us a strong No. 1 starter? Strasburg is two years away at best.

What they don't have--and aren't yet looking for--is a #1 or #2 starter. You don't need them to be respectable, but do need them to be a winner. (Champions require more: at least three #1 or #2-type pitchers to get through the fall postseason.) Since I guess that "respectability" is the name of the game for 2010-11, I'll be happy with what Rizzo can get this winter. <br /><br />But I still hope that he empties the Lerners' wallets over the next two winters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-45076978789361607512010-02-10T13:11:15.073-05:002010-02-10T13:11:15.073-05:00Two words: Dustin Moseley.

LOL To think what this team could have been with John Patterson and Shawn Hill anchoring the 1-2 in this rotation.<br /><br />Yes, the cruel game of baseball. I still think Jordan Zimmermann and Stephen Strasburg and a PTBNL will be in the top 1-2-3 combos in 2012 and a very competitive trio in 2011.<br /><br />2010 is transitional at best with at least a roster that looks like a Major League crew that needs to deliver 75 wins to bring some respectability back to DC especially when compared to a hybrid roster of Major Leaguers sprinkled with AAA guys in the past few years.Andrewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-36238190920718173302010-02-10T12:17:53.045-05:002010-02-10T12:17:53.045-05:00Now we are getting some voice of reason. This is ...Now we are getting some voice of reason. This is exactly why I am so frustrated by this Off Season. Rizzo knows he had to come up with a #3 starter. He knows he had to come up with a big improvement at SS. By waiting so long and trying to do it on the cheap he has put at risk the something he could not afford to lose. He has to put a competitive team on the field this year. Too many Box Seats and Suites are due for renewal this year. If he fails to get a proven starter and a SS like Omar V. then all the work to date is lost. Thanks Mark for telling it like it is.....We all know it and Rizzo knows it...I just hope it is not too late now.JayBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11448827055342357809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-35657778153385215812010-02-10T12:16:26.080-05:002010-02-10T12:16:26.080-05:00I know the list of available pitchers is alphabeti...I know the list of available pitchers is alphabetical, but seeing Tony Armas first thing produced an oh, no in me ... think we'll have Livan back?<br />TravelerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-38552018360413885502010-02-10T12:13:15.350-05:002010-02-10T12:13:15.350-05:00Fingers crossed.
