Fresh off the radio (two days ago), and pretending no trade is about to happen. I’m risking fate by writing this one day and posting it another, but I thought I’d go for some content.
01 SS The Riot
02 LF Soriano
03 1B D Lee
04 3B A Ram
05 RF A Japanese Person
06 2B DeRosa
07 CA Soto
08 CF Pie
09 SP Z!!!
10 SP Ol’ Glove Spike
11 SP Hill
12 ?P Dempster (making the staff somewhere)
13 CA Blanco
14 PH Ward
15 LF Murton
16 RP Wood (preuming no DL spot – yet!)
17 RP Marmol
18 RP Howry
19 RP Eyre
20 RP Wuertz
21 ?P Lieber – they wouldn’t sign him, have him pitch well, and cut him, and can’t trade him so soon after signing him
Those are all beyond quetion. Now it gets tricky…
22 IF Cintron – performed better than Cedeno, who hasn’t taken advantage of the spot
23 OF Fuld – they’d really like to trade for someone to take this spot, but we’re assuming it doesn’t happen
24 RP Hart – assuming one bad performance didn’t kill him
…
…
…
:sigh:
25 SP Jason Marquis – if they can’t make a trade, they can’t eat his contract by themselves. Marquis gets the fifth spot, Dempster gets the fourth, Lieber goes to the pen like a good solider, and Hendry burns thru many cell phone batteries in trying to make a deal. The Nats could use an opening day starter…
