Nats trade Vidro
to the Ms for Snelling and Fruto. Pending physicals and MLB approval (we're sending some cash along)
I like this a lot. Sorry to see Jose go, but this is a very nice deal where we get two very promising prospects.

not bad???
We free up $12 million AND got two prospects. If healthy, snelling is one of our top hitters.
We have really started to re-shape our roster and this trade makes me feel much better about the direction of the team. We don't have much more dead-weight on the major league roster (Guzman, anyone??) We clearly need to develop some starting pitching, but our line up is solid and our bullpen is a strength too.
My only worry is that Guzman and Logan combine for 1000 at bats next year.

Snelling's upside isn't that great
I do think Fruto has a setup man type future paired along with Ayala and Zinicola.

Fruto's Future
I said this last night in the discussions at Gameday. Fruto has the talent/stuff. He now has the opportunity in Washington. Everything is contingent upon his poise. If Fruto (with some help from RStC) can somehow learn to control himself when things go bad, he's got the makings of an intriguing starting pitching prospect. With the glut of RHRPs, a switch back to SP may make sense
