The Nationals bottomed out in 2009. Their season began with the ouster of general manager Jim Bowden in the beginning of March after he was implicated in a bonus-skimming scandal in the Dominican Republic that drew the attention of the FBI. And it ended with 103 losses, giving them 205 losse...

By Farid Rushdi True, in 10 seasons as a major league manager, Riggleman has a 555-694 record, a .444 winning percentage. But eight of those seasons were as manager of the San Diego Padres and Chicago Cubs, teams that don’t exactly have a history of winning baseball.

Rate Nats don't pick up Austin Kearns option

Original at William F. Yurasko's external link    Mon, Nov 9

By WFY(noreply@blogger.com) RF Austin Kearns' Washington career appears to be over. THe Nationals declined to pick up the 2010 option on his contract, buying him out for $1 million instead of paying him to play for $10 million. It is obviously the right decisions because Kearns can no longer hit.

Rate Washington Nationals Just Three Players Away from Respectability

Original at Bleacher Report external link    Tue, Oct 27

By Farid Rushdi The Nationals walked more and struck out less. They became more patient at the plate, increasing their pitches-per-plate-appearance from 3.73 (13th in the National League) to 3.86 (third). For the Nationals, 2010 just might be that year.

Rate Opinion: Washington Nationals' Ryan Zimmerman: Best Pick in the 2005 Amateur Draft?

Original at Bleacher Report external link    Wed, Oct 14

By Farid Rushdi Jim Bowden didn’t like outfielder Endy Chavez very much and traded him to the Phillies for Marlon Byrd, an outfielder they didn’t like very much.  He played for two seasons with Washington before leaving via free agency; the Nationals didn't want him anymore. Okay, back to Zimmerman.

Rate Could 2010 Nationals Be 2006 Tigers Redux?

By Farid Rushdi No, they’re not the New York Mets. Perhaps a comparison with the 2003 Detroit Tigers would make more sense. If the Nationals were to sign three free agent hitters and one veteran starter, the Nationals could look a great deal like the 2006 Tigers. Nats Notes
