What do we need this offseason?


I would keep LaRouche even though I dont believe he will replicate his power numbers. His defense is great, and that is enough of a reason to keep him.

Im really concerned about Storen. I dont know how they are going to handle his mental make up, but that may be the end of him as a closer. His hands were trembling... I wont talk about it. I am not going to talk about it.:ohlawd:

Even if LaRouche falls off, we do have a powerful line up. The big thing is that these guys need to change how their approach. The free swinging nature may have cost us... I am not going to talk about it. :to:

I expect Ryan Zimmerman to have a big year next year after he gets this surgery, and of course Bryce dawg should get better and maybe replace LaRouche's numbers. We have a big hole in left field defensively as Morse is not good there..

Suzuki and Ramos makes good competition at catcher, assuming Ramos comes back healthy.

The homie Lombardozzi has to get into our line up in someway. Dude is good, do we lose Espi for him or what?

Edwin is gone, I assume. Too much money and he wasnt that good, so who will be our 5th starter? I think the rest of the staff lines up well.


Who do we target in free agency?

Discuss, but lets not talk about it. :to:

Washington Nationals' Prospects Anthony Rendon And Matt Skole Named To Arizona Fall League Top Prospects Team - Federal Baseball


After a strong .291/.426/.559, 28 double, 27 HR 2012 season at Class-A Hagerstown and High-A Potomac which earned 23-year-old, 2011 5th Round pick Matt Skole the honor of being named the Washington Nationals' Minor League Player of the Year, the 6'4'', 230 lb left-handed hitting slugger went to the Arizona Fall League where he posted a .305/.419/.525 line with four doubles and three home runs in 17 games and 59 AFL ABs.

Skole's fellow 2011 Draft pick Anthony Rendon, who was taken 6th overall by the Nationals that year, struggled with injuries in his first pro season, suffering a partial fracture of his left ankle, but he returned late in the year and posted a .233/.363/.489 line with eight doubles, four triples and six home runs over 43 games and 160 PAs at four levels in the Nats' system, ending the 2012 campaign at Double-A Harrisburg.

Rendon, 22, went to the Arizona Fall League too, where he played third base for the Salt River Rafters, making it necessary for Skole to move over to first base. Rendon hit 10 doubles, one triple, stole six bases and put up a .338/.436/.494 line over 22 games and 94 PAs. The former Rice third baseman whose injury issues resulted in his being available for the Nationals to select 6th overall in the 1st Round of the '11 Draft, earned a spot on the AFL's Rising Stars' roster with his play in Arizona.
