Once upon a time
He was the Rockies CF after they dealt Preston Wilson. Never figured to have much of a ceiling, and never really achieved much of anything, though.

While I agree that it's time to trade most of the guys with trade value
The fact that JW (yes… Josh Willingham) still has two arbitration years remaining means that he should be the absolute most valuable trade chip the Nats have (possible exception of Dunn). More importantly, those two arbitration years mean that there’s a good chance he could still be somewhat affordable in 2011, and would still be under club control.
by bluelineswinger on Jul 22, 2009 7:05 PM EDT up reply actions
I agree.
I’m not saying unload him for the first piece of half-baked meat out there, but if people are willing to pay for him + his club control years, might as well. I don’t see him playing for a contender anyway if he sticks around.

Assuming that W = Willingham
I agree with you and the RZO. He’s under contract, why trade him…well that is why trade First-Half Hammer…it seems like something’s wrong in the second-half…

Let's put it this way in the Hammer/NJ debate
Player A: .268/.367/.480
Player B: .274/.399/.452
Player A has a career OPS of .847
Player B has a career OPS of .851
Player B is a free agent at year’s end, and he’s making $5 million this year
Player A has two years of arbitration eligibility remaining and is making a little less than $3 million this year
Player B (Johnson) is still perceived to have more trade value in the marketplace. Seems to me like the ultimate no-brainer if you were to trade one or the other.

I’m really not sure if I think it’s worth Morgan trying to steal as often as he is when he gets caught as often as he does.
Riggleman might have to check some percentages, or his gut...

He looked nasty at the end of the 6th, though.
He may end up with another inning in him, but I’d pull him as soon as he lets a guy on base at least.
