Zach Day pitched 7 shutout innings for the Nats tonight, one day after Frank chewed out the team for playing bad ball yesterday. The final score was 6-0. Johnson went deep twice and Vidro had three hits which combined accounted for five of the six Nats hits.
On a another positive note Kasten stated that there would major investment in the farm system. That is good to hear since Minaya used the system to forward his own career. Imagine Sizemore and Bay in the outfield, Phillips chipping in a 2nd or SS and Cliff Lee on the mound. Don't get me wrong Minaya did it on the up and up but it was just another example of how crooked this whole situation was. Minaya was trading like there was no tomorrow, which was very unlikely since the owners knew there were cities willing to give them a sweetheart deal and owners who would pay far more than they would ever spend running the franchise. In the end it worked out great for MLB and it screwed over the fans. Hopefully now that Selig/Dupuy are no longer involved the franchise will be able to get the ship moving in the right direction.
BTW: Guzman decided to shut himself down and opt for surgery, nice job Jimmy B. Guzman was signed to 4yr $16.8 million contract, the payback so far... 1st season a .219 average only because he batted .300+ in September, 2nd season whipped out. In the Nats release Guzman is quoted as saying that the shoulder was hurting last year, what the hell? Was this another case of not checking the medical records before acquiring a player? How does JB keep his job? I hope Kasten is reviewing this as we speak and looking for someone who actually knows what they are doing and not just cowboy flying by the seat of his wranglers.
