Nationals OF Preston Wilson traded to the Astros. I don't whether this a good thing or a bad thing. He was a pretty average slugger, but his strikeout record was way too high.

..which in istelf is a pretty good metaphor for the entire Nationals season..

This has to be one of the most entertaining and active offseasons in a long time.

the whole THEO thing is retarded...

John Henry cries literally... and now Theo is primed to take Larry Luchino's job... whatever...



I say.... GO JAYS!

I am surprisingly happy about this trade,but seems the Mets will be a little thing at starting pitching now

There's a lot of speculation that this is the precursor to a Zito trade... or a Weaver signing.

I think Julio sucks. I would rather they try and see if they could have gotten the guys from KC instead.

Please god don't let it be a weaver signing .... i don't think the Mets have the stuff to pull Zito out of Oakland right now either

I think a Zito deal could feasibly get done. But... I don't think it will. Oakland has a GREAT chance to win the West. I think, if anything, Zito will be traded in July if the the A's are out of it.

And to clear up my earlier post, the Coco Crisp/Andy Marte and Jason Michael deals are in principal right now, but are 90% going to happen.

I'm telling you guys... hop on that Indians bandwagon now before it's too late.

I liked the Indians pick up of Paul Byrd for the back of the rotation,But i still think the White Sox win that division.
in the N.l. i like the Brewers chance of making some noise this year

The Nationals are still in pursuit of Sammy Sosa. If they do acquire him, do you think it harm or hurt the Nats? His lackluster performance in Baltimore leads me to think that he's washed up and done, however I would like to believe that Frank Robinson is a manager who can reverse his slump. Thoughts or suggestions?

Shamez, I know you think the Nats need to get rid of Soriano. Is adding Sosa a necessity or a nuisance?

Well... I definitely think they'd benefit from a Soriano trade.

As for Sosa... I think it would just be on a minor league invite. In that case, I see no problem with it at all.
