April 7, 200521 yr Too bad for Nationals they have to bat Wilkerson in leadoff. This guy should be an RBI machine if he batted with the meat of the lineup.
April 7, 200521 yr Wilkerson's the best leadoff option. Nick Johnson's a similar player, only slower and his on-base ability is a little bit more tied to batting average. Jose Vidro is nursing a knee injury and the only real #2/3 hitter on the team (ok, maybe Johnson too). Cristan Guzman, well, he's lucky to be batting any spot but eighth.
April 7, 200521 yr Author I haven't caught either of the Natties games on Tv. Is Endy Chavez in the lineup? Termel Sledge? I'm going to start following their games.
April 7, 200521 yr Join the club. Most of DC has had to rely on bars and box scores. Inning-Endy was sent to AAA. Sledge has started in both regular season games, but is expected to go back to the bench to make way for Ryan Church in center.

Wilkerson is the only option for leadoff but ideally they'd have someone else leading off and have wilkerson batting somewhere further down. Too bad Chavez cant raise his OBP.
April 7, 200521 yr Author Chavez was just a huge bust in ST. He was the equivalent to Alex Sanchez in Detroit, low walks, low steals, low OBP...not what you want in a leadoff. I agree with you Quick, Wilkerson would thrive lower in the order, but at this point there isn't much that the Natties can do.
April 7, 200521 yr I have always thought Wilkerson was a good ball player he just hasn't been able to put it all toghther.Congrats on hitting for the cycle.
April 7, 200521 yr So the Nationals got there cycle on their second game. We are still waiting for ours ;o

Also, I gave him a few pointers on his batting stance, and presto!
