By Zach Links Let's take a look at some Nationals tidbits courtesy of the latest mailbag from MLB.com's Bill Ladson and Phil Wood of MASNsports.com: Mike MacDougal is currently the favorite to be the Nats' closer in 2010. In 52 appearances last season, the 32-year-old posted an ERA of 3.60 but had as many wa...

By WFY(noreply@blogger.com) It was hoped that RF Elijah Dukes would step up this year and come closer to his potential. That has not happened in my view, in fact he has probably regressed. He was sent to the minors for a while and chases too many pitches out of the strike zone. You have to figure 2010 is his make or break year wit...

By Farid Rushdi I interrupt the chatter about the Washington Nationals bringing Livan Hernandez back to Washington to bring you the following: I hate Elijah Dukes. But his goo-friend didn’t stop there. Dukes came to bat with the bases loaded in the fifth inning and faced new pitcher Aaron Heilman.

Tuesday's MLB roundup: Elijah Dukes hit a grand slam in a six-run fifth inning, Josh Willingham had two homers and six RBI and the Washington Nationals rocked Carlos Zambrano in his return from the disabled list, routing the Chicago Cubs 15-6.

By Adam Bernacchio For the Washington Nationals, I kind of see what they are trying to do.  As Dave Cameron of Fangraphs pointed out, the Nationals have the worst outfield defenses in baseball. I have watched them recently against the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees and quite frankly their outfield d...

By noreply@blogger.com (Nate) Next is the question of where everybody plays. It's true, the Nats have too many outfielders on the 40-man roster. Nine (Bernadina, Davis, Dukes, Harris, Kearns, Maxwell, Milledge, Pena, Willingham) even before accounting for Dunn. But if you look closely those numbers decline fast. Thre...

By Farid(noreply@blogger.com) SS: Cristian Guzman: .310-9-55 3B: Ryan Zimmerman: .283-26-110 LF: Elijah Dukes: .270-26-90 (25 SB) RF: Austin Kearns: .250-13-60 (worst case scenario) C: Jesus Flores/Paul LoDuca et. al.: .265-14-55 The Nationals had a tough season, but for justifiable reasons.

By Farid(noreply@blogger.com) Why did he choose the Nationals? As Sally Field might say, "he liked us. He really really liked us." SS: Cristian Guzman - .250-5-40 3B: Ryan Zimmerman - .295-28-110 LF - Wily Mo Pena - .270-35-90 RF - Austin Kearns - .270-24-85 F - Elijah Dukes - .250-35-90

By Farid(noreply@blogger.com) Of course, Dukes and Pena could also never reach their potential and combine for 40 homers and 150 RBI's, not nearly enough production to help the Nationals. Perhaps the Nationals may be looking to trade Whitesell this off-season?

By noreply@blogger.com (Dave Nichols) The Nationals start an eight game road trip to Colorado and Milwaukee Monday night at 9:05 Eastern. Tim Redding (7-6, 4.34) takes the mound against Rockies all-star Aaron Cook (14-6, 3.53). OF Elijah Dukes (leg), 3B Ryan Zimmerman (hand) and SS Cristian Guzman (thumb) were unavailable. It wa...
