Wire Taps: Holy Anthony Rendon; Nationals can win without Eaton; Who will play center?

Was that good? I think that was good.

Here’s the beat from South Capitol Street.

The Nats can win without Eaton
Michael A. Taylor won't be as bad as he was in 2017, that's for sure. If the 3-5 hitters keep raking, it may not even matter.

Who can play center field?
Taylor? Rafael Bautista? Brian Goodwin? Andrew Stevenson? ROBLES? SOTO? CAIN? DAVIS? GOMEZ?

A few reactions from Rendon's day
Turner, Drew, Wieters, and Baker all had things to say after Tony Two-Bags' historic day.

Rendon's historic day and the Nats' historic month, by the numbers
Factoids, get your factoids here!

Anthony Rendon quite literally just had one of the best days in MLB history

Anthony Rendon said a whole lot of nothing in his on-field interview after the game

Anthony Rendon's incredible day erased his bad start
Entering today, Rendon was looking at a pretty mediocre month of April. After just one day, Anthony Rendon made it look like he's had a great month.

Nats have hole to fill due to loss of Eaton
Eaton's ACL tear isn't exactly convenient for the Nats, who will now have to start Michael A. Taylor and suddenly won't get value out of the three pitching prospects they traded away for Eaton.

Nationals organizational all-stars
Davidson, Soto, Read and Crownover are all names to keep an eye on.
