The Nationals drafted Chris Marrero as a third baseman, but have moved him around to OF/1B with Zimmerman established at third, but I imagine Marrero or Kory Casto could man third competently for a few years if Zim was dealt...the Nationals have drafted a lot of pitchers recently and the out...

Casto is a guy who has been the Nationals' Minor League Player of the Year twice. Casto set the bar high and the Nationals expected more out of him -- they don't want a singles hitter who goes to left field too often. They want a power hitter who draws a lot of walks. " (Emphasis added.)

This was a game which was won by the pitching. Webb slugged his way through six scoreless innings, allowing six hits and two walks, but striking out six too, and bearing down whenever necessary. If that seemed to be quite often, Brandon was up to the challenge, leaving the Nationals 0-for-8 w...

Washington had fought back to take a slim 2-1 lead to the top of the 8th. And Our Manager Manny Acta called on Saul Rivera to get this game into the hands of Big Jon Rauch to close it out. A curtain call that never came for Washington thanks to some very sloppy performances.

Game Number 25 was simply one of those games you lose. Our Washington Nationals had ZERO chance of winning this evening before a rousing Chicago Cubs Faithful Crowd of 35,188. Too bad. At least it's baseball-there is a NEW GAME TOMORROW. Our Washington Nationals can still win this series.
