Two years ago I debated which Nats jersey to get. I wanted a position player and althoug I like Zimmerman and I loved Pudge I wanted to get a young player's jersey so it would last awhile. At a game, I debated between Desmond and Espinosa and Danny just happened to hit a huge HR so I went with his jersey.
Happens ever time....

As in their lockers have been cleaned out and they've been designated for assignment, basically waived

Interesting. I can't say I'm completely surprised because they've both been dog-poo this season, but still! You'd think someone would give up something for either of them based on their "potential".

Guess I won't be wearing that Espi jersey to the game tonight!

Edit - just saw this in the comments section of the Post' Nats Insider:

Nationals PR ‏@NationalsPR 31s
Nationals add Werth, Rendon (recall, AAA), Ian Krol (selected, AA) to roster. Place Espinosa on DL (right wrist), DFA Rodriguez and Duke.

rule no.1 you got to have a better replacement in line if your gonna let someone go, ie designate for assignment, waiver, etc. Rodriguez is outta options.

To be honest Im a little surprised.

[Chico23231]

im sure they can find a trade partner...more surprised with espinosa

From a World Series contender last year to injuries galore and letting go of key players. Yikes.

Immediately after the Nationals lost to the Reds 15-0 this season and commentators said "The worst loss in the history of the Nationals" (and we've had some very bad teams) I immediately said that the Nationals are NOT winning a world series this year.

That'd be more impressive if you said that before the loss. To make a statement like the immediately after a 15-0 loss...I mean I'm sure many were saying that at that moment

Yeah I know what you mean. I'm just saying that game is what put the final nail in the coffin for me.

Immediately after reading any of your post I instantly say "this guy doesn't know what he is talking about."

Funny. But I've been around sports too much my whole life to not know what I'm talking about. Predictions of mine are...predictions.

Bryce Harper went super saiyan tonight.





Crushing it in the final round right now.


edit: fizzled out a bit the last 5 outs.

Interesting on Espinosa. First I heard was DFA, but maybe (apparently) I had heard wrong

I keep seeing DL, but it's also saying his locker has been cleared (like you said) so the twitter guesses seem to be that he's in for a long DL stint, possibly after surgery.

Fun times.
