Where we Stand Now

I’ve been about the biggest possible Nationals fan since their first game in 2005. And not since that first game, have I literally felt a tingling feeling excitement pulse throughout my body. That being said, this tingling feeling is more one of cautious optimism than blind faith in the team. I now bring you my breakdown of the Nationals’ off-season, and where we stand going forward.

Good to Gio

It’s still hard to tell if the Washington Nationals will get Prince Fielder, or if they’re even seriously pursuing them, but their acquisition of Gio Gonzalez alone should get Nationals fans excited for the upcoming season (pitchers and catchers report in just over a month!!!!!)  Admittedly the Nationals gave up a lot of prospects to the Oakland Athletics in the trade to get Gio, but Gonzalez is a solid frontline starter and should benefit from switching to the National League and facing other team’s third starters.
