Nationals manager Manny Acta discusses the 2008 season and Cristian Guzman at the Winter Meetings out in Las Vegas video.aol.com

By Ben Nicholson-Smith The Nationals are considering a number of options up the middle. Here's the latest: MLB.com's Bill Ladson expects the Nationals to try trading Cristian Guzman this offseason. It won't be easy, given his $8MM salary. Manager Jim Riggleman likes Ian Desmond, but others within the organizati...

By Screech's Best Friend(noreply@blogger.com) Question: If you are comfortable moving Guzman to second base with a spring training behind him, how comfortable are you with investing in Ian Desmond at shortstop and Jesus Flores behind the plate—even though he has been often injured?

By Bill Ladson Now that he is the full-time manager of the Nationals, Jim Riggleman has come to the conclusion that shortstop Cristian Guzman should be a second baseman for the team. Riggleman: Guzman a second baseman

By Jesse Motiff Washington Nationals- It would be surprising to see the Nats make a trade for Hardy but it would make sense. Cristian Guzman is the current shortstop but he could move to second base. A left side of the infield with Hardy and Ryan Zimmerman would stack up quite well against anyone in the league.

Washington Nationals shortstop Cristian Guzman will have arthroscpic surgery on his right shoulder on Thursday at The Washington Hospital Center.

By Nate(noreply@blogger.com) Rizzo got a middling at best return for Nick Johnson, and may have sold short on Milledge at the nadir of his value. He didn't shed the Kearns or Guzman contracts, despite having opportunities to do so. Yes the Nats signed Strasburg, but they didn't stretch to sign any talent in the lower round...

By Farid Rushdi Over the past few years, the Nationals have been stockpiling young pitching, knowing that out of every four or five true prospects, the team could expect to see one of them become a solid major league pitcher. SS: Cristian Guzman - .294-8-55 3B: Ryan Zimmerman - .300-34-112

By Nate(noreply@blogger.com) If there's a deal to be made for Guzman that returns something of value to DC, Rizzo should jump on it. Joe Posnanski has a theory that when dealing with a team like the Yankees or the Red Sox using their "must win now" mentality against them can be a valuable bargaining chip. That said, letting C...

By Dave Nichols I did not think the Washington Nationals were going to sign Stephen Strasburg. Cristian Guzman is not a major league quality defensive shortstop anymore. He simply can no longer make the play to his left (up the middle) and can only go to his right when his bunions aren't acting up.
