Baseball Prospectus' Will Carroll's Team Health Reports: Washington Nationals.

When Baseball Prospectus' Will Carroll published the Washington Nationals edition of his yearly Team Health Reports* back in early February, I was traveling between DC and New Jersey and I missed the opportunity to send some questions his way, but with the recent string of injuries once again affecting the Nationals' roster, I thought I'd see if Mr. Carroll would still be willing to answer a few questions, and he was...
(ed. note - " * = You'll need a subscription to Baseball Prospectus to read the full Nationals' Team Health Report by Mr. Carroll.")
1) How does sudden aging affect a prospects' health report? (Alright that's a joke.)
Ha, joke yes, but age isn't as much of a factor as most think. Conditioning and the response to aging is more important. 23 or 19 isn't as significant as 33, but while "old" or "young" teams often get thought of as more or less injury prone depending on who you speak with, it's really not the case.
2) Should DC fans be worried about Elijah Dukes' multiple leg injuries last season?
Worried, yes, but not so much so that you're not sleeping well. Dukes hasn't shown that he can stay healthy, but given all the focus on his off-field issues, is the fact that we're talking about sprains and strains a positive? I think Dukes is a fourth OF, maybe a DH and if he could be pushed to that role, he's more likely to be productive.
3) Ryan Zimmerman seemed to be missing some pop after suffering a labrum/shoulder injury last year, will the power return?
Good question. Was it the shoulder or something else? I think it was and that it was probably worse than we thought when you factor in park factors. He's going to have to find that power quickly or Kevin Goldstein's assertion** that he's the most overrated player in baseball might hold up.
4) You gave Shawn Hill a Red Light warning and he's already been back to Dr. Andrews this Spring, would a new role or a new delivery make a difference?
At this stage, no. It looks like the damage is already done. If he's able to come back -- and there's some precedent for this in Jon Rauch -- then maybe he can stay healthy, but there's really no reason to believe it so.
5) Does Jesus Flores' shoulder strain change his status as, (as you wrote), "one of the few green-rated catchers around?"
No, it's risk and probability not certainty. People win the lottery and that's not probable. Even though he's green-lit doesn't mean he's bulletproof.
(ed. note - "Thanks, Mr. Carroll.")
(ed. note - "Baseball Prospectus' writer Kevin Goldstein's quote about Ryan Zimmerman is from an article, (which you'll need a subscription to Baseball Prospectus to read in its entirety), entitled, "Future Shocks: Nationals Top 11 Prospects", where Mr. Goldstein lists Zimmerman 2nd on a list of the, "Top 10 Talents 25 and Under (as of Opening Day 2009)" in DC, with the caveat):
"The much-touted third baseman has become one of the more overrated players in the game, and is now just the best player on a very bad team, an outstanding defensive player with a career OPS just above 800—and that's just not a star."
STRASBURG FILES...
Both sdsuaztec4, our resident Stephen Strasburg scout, and ROSCEtheNATSfan, a frequent Federal Baseball commenter, pointed to an article by ESPN.com's Buster Olney yesterday entitled, "Is Strasburg The Best Prospect Ever?", where Mr. Olney looks for holes in Strasburg's game while questioning someone he refers to simply as "a longtime scout", who'll have none of it, assuring Mr. Olney when asked just how good Strasburg is, that San Diego State University's starter is:
"'The best I've ever seen...And it's not even close.'"
But Mr. Olney injects some reality into the discussion for anyone thinking it'll be easy for the Washington Nationals to select and sign Strasburg, noting that Strasburg is, "...represented by Scott Boras, who has been known to hold out players for months, for years, in his effort to get his clients what he deems to be a fair market value." Mr. Olney then goes on to list six reasons why the Nationals need to sign Strasburg, and by the time your hear about Aaron Crow, Esmailyn Gonzalez and Jim Bowden again, you'll be ready to watch our favorite Strasburg video, which is linked at the end of the article.
GAME THREAD: New York vs Washington: Space Coast Stadium, Viera Florida...
Jordan Zimmermann's turn on the mound, against the New York Mets, who counter with righty John Maine. Zimmermann had 3 K's in 3.0 scoreless and hitless when he faced the Mets last Wednesday, starting opposite Mike Pelfrey, and the 22-year-old right-hander will probably face an equally-make-shift Mets' roster in this afternoon's tilt.
Last night the Nationals exploded for 8 runs on 14 hits, a double, a triple and 2 HR's,
as they beat the Houston Astros 8-6. Austin Kearns doubled and homered, with a three-run blast in the first. Nick Johnson, Corey Patterson and Ryan Zimmerman each knocked in runs, but it was Brad Eldred, who came up in a tie game, in extra innings, with 1 on and 1 out, and ended it with a walkoff blast in the bottom of the tenth. What will happen today?
Today's game gets underway at 1:05 pm EST...Who's Listening To The Nationals?

Zimmerman's shoulder
Zimmy did not have surgery on his shoulder last year. He was able to rehab it through rest and exercise. If he’d had surgery, he’d never have made it back to the lineup. From what I’ve read, he really worked hard this off season. I’m hoping for a break out year from my favorite Nat.

Let's permit ourselves to dream a little...
Say NN is for real. Lannan looks good. Olsen should get better.
Dukes, Milly and Dunn in the OF. That’s three real bats.
Nick, Guzzy and Zimm (and a 2B) in the infield.
WWJD behind the dish. That’s really not bad at all. Better than the Braves? Maybe third place in the east?

it's good to be excited...
but let’s not all go over the cliff yet. the starting rotation, even if Zim(m) is for reals, still has lots of questions. the Nats may generate more than more 100 runs this year than last, but our staff is still verrry volatile.

Somebody with 20+ HRs and less errors.
And beat Cole Hamels at least once at home so I can see it in person.

i actually prefer Wee Willie
i love Willie as nuch as anyone, but his nine-week outburst last season was a complete outlier to the rest of his baseball career. you put enough at bats together, sometimes funny things happen. it’s like monkeys typing the Gettysburg Address. Willie Harris just isn’t the player, over his career, to justify the numbers he put up last late-summer. he’s a slap-hitting .250/.320/.400 guy that can play all over the diamond. and, by the way, he’s 31. if he’d done what he did last year at age 24 or 25, i’d give him the benefit. but i think he just took advantage of some regular playing time and turned it into a reward two-year contract to be a valuable utility player, but he’s not going to hit 13 home runs the rest of his career.

I half expect to see Bud Selig standing there waving his arms around...
But I figure the Mets only brought 5 or 6 pitchers. So the worst we can be in spring training with them is 3-2-1. I’ll take that.

Zimmermann's latest AP article.
Prized prospect Zimmermann still unscored upon
2 hours ago
VIERA, Fla. (AP) — Jordan Zimmermann’s dominant pitching has been one of the highlights at Washington Nationals camp. Brad Eldred’s powerful swing is drawing attention, too.
Zimmermann, a prized prospect, extended his shutout streak to 8 1-3 innings in Grapefruit League action and Eldred homered for the second consecutive day as the Nationals and New York Mets played to a 5-all tie in 10 innings Tuesday.
After two perfect outings, Zimmermann allowed baserunners for the first time this spring and easily passed that test, demonstrating a veteran’s poise in twice wiggling out of trouble during a stint of 3 1-3 innings.
