Seriously, Mr. Bowden? More Outfielders? Nationals Interested In New Rockies' OF Carlos Gonzalez?

According to MLB.com's Bill Ladson, in an article entitled, "Nationals not pursuing Manny", the Nationals aren't interested in Manny Ramirez, but they do have a thing for Rockies' outfielder Carlos Gonzalez, who was just acquired from the A's in the Matt Holliday deal...and the Rockies' GM acknowledges he's entertaining offers in the article...More outfielders? Maybe Colorado wants Austin Kearns?... Gonzalez, was a D-Backs' prospect who went to Oakland in the Haren deal, and then to Colorado this week, but I'd bet DC Asst. GM Mike Rizzo, who was with AZ when they signed the then-17-year-old Venezuelan-born outfielder, is the one with his eye on Gonzalez... Winston Smith's Unrelated Trivia Corner...
