Washington, D.C. Welcomes Their Nationals Back To Nationals Park...

Check the NatCast if you're heading to Nationals Park...
That's right, it's baseball in the nation's capital...the Washington Nationals welcome the Baltimore Orioles for the last game before they start counting, one last exhibition game before the Nationals head down to Florida to take on the Marlins at 4:10 pm EST on Monday afternoon to start the 2009 season. Tonight's game is on MASN in HD. It's on MLB.tv! It's on the MLB Network...this one is everywhere, and the baseball world will get a look at one of the two young arms in the Nationals' rotation, 21-year-old right-hander Shairon Martis, who starts for DC against the O's Alfredo Simon.
Shake Things Up...
Nationals' Manager Manny Acta made two bold pronouncements in one article by MLB.com's Jim Hodges yesterday entitled, "Kearns favored for right field", which announced that it will most likely be Adam Dunn, Lastings Milledge and Austin Kearns left to right in the DC outfield come Opening Day, and if it ruffles some feathers, Mr. Acta's all right with that:
"'You know what? I'd rather have two or three guys that are unhappy on the bench that are talented and I know I can go to them and help me win, than to have three guys who are happy but who aren't talented,' said Acta."
The "unhappy (guys) on the bench" are presumably Elijah "Super" Dukes and "The Hammer" Josh Willingham, (who has already openly stated his dissatisfaction with assuming a bench role). (ed. note - "I'll leave it to you to decide who the happy/untalented guys were...?") But with bench players like Dukes and Willingham, the Nationals finally start to look like a real team, and all the outfielders will obviously see time whether or not it's as much as they'd like, and with this roster, the DC Manager is emboldended enough for the second pronouncement, as quoted again, by MLB.com's Jim Hodges:
"'I expect my team to play .500 baseball,' said Acta. 'I think our lineup is very respectable this year, especially with the addition of Dunn.'"
Hear that? Not everyone assumes the Nationals are going to spend the year in the NL East's basement...though, admittedly, it's pretty rare that a manager will say his team is going to be awful...but I for one believe Manny Acta believes that, the Nationals probably believed it last year too...It's just that no one else seems to agree...
Prediction Time...
Yahoo Sports.com's Kevin Kaduk, aka 'Duk, (who moderated the SBN's NL East Roundtable that I posted yesterday) and Yahoo! Sports writer David Brown have an NL East Preview entitled, "NL East preview: Phillies eye third straight title over Mets and Co.", at Yahoo Sports.com's Big League Stew in which they have the Nationals finishing 5th in the NL East, and have this to say about the nation's capital's favorite baseball team...
'Duk:
"'...I'd like to be positive about the Nats, as I think it'd be pretty cool if Lastings Milledge and Elijah Dukes had breakout seasons, but I don't see it happening. Realistically, what we're looking at is a team that's going to provide us plenty of drama in the Stephen Strasburg Derby and give the Padres a bit of company in the National League cellar...'"
David Brown:
"'I used to have a personal French-Canadian love affair with the Montreal Expos, but then they moved to our nation's capital and became corrupted by aliens, or whatever has passed for Nats management. The only thing they have gotten right is the "W" on the cap — which they stole from the Senators."
Or perhaps...
...You enjoy a more stat-based analytical approach to predicting what will happen in the NL East this season...in that case, Yahoo Sports.com has an article by AccuScore analyst Tim Williams entitled, "AccuScore: Projected NL Standings", where Mr. Williams describes how they arrived at the opinion that the Washington Nationals will finish 73-89 in 2009.
NY Daily News Says DC Is 5th...
NY Daily News Sports writer Bill Madden has the Nationals finishing in the basement of the NL East in his article entitled, "National League East Preview", and in his opinion the team has been "sadly mismanaged", and even though Washington "finally fired GM Jim Bowden this spring", they, "remain saddled with a terrible team possessed with only a few rays of hope..."
(ed. note - "...'possessed with'...?")
• Who's right about the Nationals? You can see for yourself, starting tonight...6:00 pm EST. The Nationals and the Orioles, one more time then it counts...Will Shairon Martis go the way of his fellow starters in their final Spring appearances:
John Lannan vs Toronto: 4.2 IP, 10 H, 7 ER, 3 BB, 0 K, 1 HR.
Scott Olsen vs Philadelphia: 6.0 IP, 10 H, 9 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 3 K's, 3 HR's.
Daniel Cabrera vs Baltimore: 5.0 IP, 4 H, 5 ER, 4 BB, 1 K, 1 HR.
...or will Shairon Martis show the Orioles what it's going to be like from now on when you come to the nation's capital to play DC's favorite ballclub?

Ed. The photos from AP definitely work for me.
Who’s watching Sox at Mets on MLBN right now?
Oliver Perez was horrible. Pulled after 2 outs and 6 runs in the first inning
Ugh...
Thanks for the update. I’m here at work. No watchy b-ball.

For those who will be watching.
I drive by the park everyday when going to work. Today, I noticed what looks like a small addition to the park. On top of the facade, flags representing all of the teams in MLB have been placed. I don’t remember seeing this last year. Am I wrong or just getting old?
The wind is pretty severe today and by the direction the flags were blowing, balls hit with any “umph” whatsoever are going to be launched into the outfield seats. I’ll peak in from time to time to see what’s going on.
Can you smell it?! It’s almost baseball season! I love it!

Yeah...
There’s quite the conundrum about to brew in Mets land with the signing of Sheffield. Murphy is an absolute student of the game in general and hitting specifically. One of the first things I noticed about him last year in a game was, after he hit a home run, he walked into the dugout, got his congratulatory high fives and ‘atta’ boys and immediately sat down to continue studying the pitchers of the opposing team. How often do you see or hear something like that?
The guy busted his a$$ this off season and produced very well in spring training. He won the starting assignment in LF hands down, now, just a couple of days before the season, he has to deal with the unknown of sharing time with someone else. Sure, maybe it works for the Mets overall when it comes to producing runs, but at the same time, I hope it doesn’t have a negative impact on Murphy’s psyche.

In case you didn't notice, Murph was playing 2nd in the Arizona Fall League...
…think he was an infielder when he came up…so if Castillo falters…plus I hear Tatis at second sometimes acc. to Mr. Manuel…Church in left, Beltran in center and Sheff in right??

I can respect that.
A lot of Mets fans have been clamoring to have Castillo dispensed with and to put Murph in his place. One problem. Castillo’s fat contract. The Wilpons, Minaya et al. aren’t going to stand idly by and see Castillo do ‘nothing’ and pay him that money. There’s the rub.

Sounds familiar - a la Dunn.
I like the Mets 3 man booth. Have they beed doing that a while? I see ESPN and the Yankees are now doing it too. Have I missed that or is it kinda new?
Good question.
I’ve been following the Mets sporadically since ‘97. Just last year, I got hooked on MLB Extra Innings and also had access to SNY (mets network) and saw the 3 stooges from time to time. I don’t follow the broadcasting enough to know who is in the box most of the time. I do know of Darling and Hernandez. The other bald guy? You got me. I don’t know how long they’ve been doing the 3 man team, but it seems to work.
On ESPN I like to see Orel Herscheiser (sp) and Dan Shulman. I absolutely loathe Steve Phillips. He never shuts up and after this year’s WBC, if you’re not pro-WBC, you might as well be communist. Enough already Steve.
I like listening to Tim McCarver and Joe Buck on Fox. I think they make a great team and make for listening to an interesting broadcast. I don’t know why everyone gives them so much grief.

25 man roster is set...
Obviously moves will be made when A-Hern is healthy and on 4/19 when Zim(n) starts. Mock is not on it as I think we all expected. Tavarez is on it.
No Bergmann....... and both Hinkley and Ledezma make it.....
Bullpen
LHP Joe Beimel
RHP Joel Hanrahan
LHP Mike Hinckley
LHP Wil Ledezma
RHP Saul Rivera
RHP Steven Shell
RHP Julian Tavarez

It's probably smart to have Tavarez there to eat innings in case of a blowout to save the other bullpen arms.

Hypothetical...
Say they trade Nick. Would you rather have the Hammer at first and leave Dunn in LF?
good, good question
the overall decision would be, which is less of a liability? Dunn on 1st or Dunn in left?
After seeing his performance in RF in the WBC, I’d say put Dunn on 1st.

Nats 3B Zimmerman nixes in-season contract talk
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman wants negotiations for a long-term contract to end when the regular season starts.
Zimmerman and the Nationals have been having talks throughout spring training. Nationals president Stan Kasten has said he would like to reach an agreement before opening day.
Zimmerman tells The Associated Press on Saturday that if there isn’t something in place by Monday’s first game, he wants a break in negotiations. He says the last thing he needs is to be worrying about something other than trying to help the Nationals win.
