• "More from Eckstein" - NATS INSIDER - Mark Zuckerman

"...Rick Eckstein takes his team's poor offensive performances just as hard (if not more) than his players. That's certainly understandable, because this is Eckstein's livelihood. He spends every waking moment working with hitters, studying video, thinking about swings and opposing pitchers. Hitting consumes his life."

• NATIONALS NEWS NETWORK: Dave Nichols - "Now is the Time to Get Younger and More Athletic"

"I believe Mike Rizzo when he says the team doesn't want to trade any of them, and to do so it would "hurt" both teams. But there comes a time when you have to look at the situation and make a call about what you think is best for the future of the organization."
