He's really weird defensively too. The first two years he was top notch defensively, but the last two years he has been bad.

He kind of mashes. It just seems like he is hated a lot and idk why.

Apparently he has lapses defensively and K's at really bad times. Also seems like a low baseball IQ (IDK if that's true, I don't see him enough to make a judgement). There's a lot worse than a guy who gets you 30+ homers and a .262/.340/.493 guy with average defense and is only 26.

He is stupid streaky.. but that doesn't matter really. Unless you're in a h2h league but idk how you'd predict it anyway.

Ballpark is perfect for him, too.

He was basically the same as Heyward offensively last year.

I'm excited for the Nationals to trade for Wesley Wright though.

They're horrid. decent middle infield, justin maxwell may have a breakout year... but...

They have Deshields, Jr and Correa. They'll add somebody like Appel this year and then Carlos Rodon next year. Meh.

That's not a three year rebuilding job.......that's a five year rebuilding job. They just have no talent. Their projected lineup ZIPS.

Oh I know. But, eventually, Deshields, Correa, Singleton, Altuve, Appel, Rodon (if they get the 1 pick) doesn't look AWFUL. Just have to have some hope.

No, I agree. They aren't dead in the water, like, say, the Mariners. Who have two super prospects and that's about it.

I love Deshields. He's gonna be really good.

The Mariners team this year is going to be super awesomely weird. Which two prospects are you referring to?

Hultzen is alright too. It'll be incredibly tough to top the Astros sucking this year, so it's kind of a lost cause, but there should almost be a SuckForRodon campaign.

Rodon might pitch in the majors by 2015.

See, what you posted is all well and good, except they also have Jason Bay and Raul effing Ibanez

Rodon would be number 1 this year and would have been the top pitcher taken last year. He's baseball's Clowney right now.
