There's No Way Nick Johnson Gets Traded...
MLB.com's Bill Ladson had an article yesterday afternoon entitled, "Rumors swirl about Nats' Johnson", which acknowledged that both the Boston Red Sox and New York Mets have expressed some unquantifiable measure of interest in the Nationals' sure-handed, selective, single-smacking, left-handed, first baseman, Nick Johnson. The Sox need some production at first since Big Papi's gone beyond slump to some newfound territory and the Mets need someone who's actually played first base in the majors, since Carlos Delgado's hip surgery is going to put him out 10 weeks. Should the Nationals Trade Nick Johnson? We've been asking here for weeks...Let's Make it Official...NEW POLL.
Max Is Back
In a post by Washington Times' writer Mark Zuckerman at the Times' Chatter blog entitled, "Dukes to DL, plus more moves", Mr. Zuckerman reports that Elijah Dukes, who injured his left hamstring last week, "...struggled through a workout session this afternoon in front of Manny Acta and Mike Rizzo", after which he was placed on the 15-day DL. Alex Cintron was designated for assigment as well, and the Nationals have Jason Bergmann and Justin Maxwell speeding toward the nation's capital as we speak. Mr. Zuckerman writes the Maxwell will "take over" in center, and in Mr. Zuckerman's opinion:
"...you've got to think the Nats want to get a good look at him in center field and see if he's ready to assume the job permanently."
Dunn, Maxwell and Kearns? Willingham, Maxwell and Dukes? Dunn, Maxwell and Kearns? What do you think the DC OF will look like tonight?

In the end, we'll be glad we didn't draft this clown...
Justin Smoak, 1B, Rangers: While Hank Blalock had his contract option picked up this season and has hit 10 homers thus far, don’t expect the Rangers to keep him around after this season. The team needs to make room in the lineup for Smoak, 22, by moving Chris Davis to designated hitter.
The 11th overall pick in the 2008 draft out of the University of South Carolina, the switch-hitter has drawn immediate comparisons to Mark Teixeira in terms of his offensive ability.
Smoak has a fluid swing with good bat speed, and strong hands and wrists. He has well above average power from both sides of the plate and the potential to be a 40-homer hitter in the big leagues. He is patient, waits for pitches he can drive, is short to the ball, stays inside it well and will go to all fields. There’s very little not to like about his swing.
He signed in time to get in 14 games in the Midwest League at the end of last season, hitting .304 with six extra-base hits, and then impressed in the Arizona Fall League, despite being on the taxi squad for much of the time, which limited him to one or two starts per week. Aggressively promoted to Double-A to start this season, Smoak is proving that decision to be wise, as he has destroyed Texas League pitching. Through his first 36 games, Smoak is hitting .338 with six homers and more walks than strikeouts (resulting in a .461 on-base percentage) and is slugging .534. Not bad for 50 games into his professional career.
“I’ve really focused on shortening up my swing,” Smoak said. “Just trying to ‘see ball, hit ball.’ In college sometimes, I got too big with my stroke and tried to hit homers more than I should have. Now I’m just worrying about it seeing it and hitting it, and if it goes out, it goes out.”
At times, he flies off the ball a bit from the left side, as he could use his hands a bit more in that swing like he does in his right-handed stroke, but I’m nitpicking. He also gets overly anxious on off-speed stuff at times, and it throws his swing off balance. Major league pitchers will be sure to test him in that regard.
“For me, it’s just staying behind the ball,” Smoak said. “I get in trouble when I start jumping to the ball and trying to do too much. It’s just relaxing and staying behind the ball.”
Defensively, Smoak has decent hands but is a little stiff with limited range, thanks to his thick lower half. However, he’s a perfectly good first baseman who won’t need to eventually move to DH.
Given Smoak’s otherworldly production thus far and Blalock’s injury history, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that Smoak will make his big league debut this season, and not as just a September call-up. Keeper league players need to be ready to snatch him up.

Cintron gone - and yes, he was VERY classy in his departure to the bullpen — will hold my fire on that one for now
DC -
JMax up and in the lineup tonight — OK!
Wow, what can go wrong on a night like this? Jinx, sminx.

seriously
the pitcher spot is coming up in the lineup. Was acta banking on both a scoreless inning pitched by hanrahan AND a ninth inning winning run from the bottom of our order???? seriously? that’s the best he can do?
On Jinx Day, it's all a lock, man.
Tops of the order, bottoms—this team rakes. Five runs.
"We are all jinxers in NatsTown™." --cat daddy3000
I'm not in the Fire Acta camp, but he sticks with struggling relievers too long...
Instead of an inspirational talk with Hanny, Acta should’ve taken the ball. Who he should give it to? He’s the Manager, not me. he can figure that out…

sounds like a plan to me...
BTW: Roscoe, did you see that FSU won its 1st round game in the ACC baseball playoffs today?
FSU ranked #1 in ACC...
…UNC ranked #2
Carolina’s playing Duke now/ up 4-1.
If all goes according to seeding, FSU and UNC will play for the championship on Sunday.
I just got FIOS today so I'm seriously confused about channels...
…I ’ll fish around to try to find the new channel number.
Thanks for the info..
I found it..Channel 76...
..just in time to see Carolina lay down a perfect bunt. What a concept!
Dustin Ackley, the Carolina OF/1st baseman, was just selected POY of the ACc and is expected to be drafted #2 right behind Strasburg this year.
Jinx Day is over. Tomorrow the no-jinx policies as laid out in the Jinx FAQ we sent out are back in effect...

Ohhh, that's got a catchy ring..
Jinx Day Stinx…
And now Manny’s spinning some really positive stuff about hanny.. sez his dirtballs were because hanny was trying too hard to throw the perfect pitch.
“Adam Dunn retrieved the ball in plenty of time to get LaRoche at home, but instead the left-hander halfheartedly bounced a short throw that that dribbled past three players – Cristian Guzman, Ronnie Belliard and Ryan Zimmerman – before feebly making its way to the catcher.
Andy LaRoche scored, Wilson took third on an error charged to Dunn, and the fans responded with a round of boos"
