July 22, 200818 yr The West sucks so this might put them over. I still think the Dodgers are a better team though.

Rauch is better. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...sp&c_id=ari we know but I think they are struggling more at middle relief and the set-up role, Brandon Lyons has done fine as closer
July 22, 200818 yr Lyons 1.29 Whip Rauch 1.01 Whip also has a better ERA, I think Erick u r right and they might just put him at closer, but I do not believe Lyons has done that bad of a job
July 22, 200818 yr Interesting, now the D-Backs have the two tallest players in baseball on their roster.
July 22, 200818 yr What sucks is they only had to give up Emilio Bonifacio. If this is true we fuk up big time. Rauch > Fuentes, plus we would have had him under control for 2 more years!!!!!!

I doubt the Nats would have traded within the division. Plus, Bonifacio is their 6th best prospect and was having a pretty good year in AAA Tucson. It's not like the Nats just gave Rauch away.

July 22, 200818 yr Bonifacio is good, but I don't think Arizona had room for him in the bigs. He might be able to join the Nats 25-man roster soon. I think that trade works for both sides long-term, but for now it clearly favors AZ.

Coughlan is a better prospect and that good year is pretty average and in a hitters league. http://www.baseballamerica.com/statistics/...ds/?pl_id=83529

Secondly, like I said before, I don't think the Nats would have traded within the division.
July 22, 200818 yr rotoworld.com agrees with me Nationals acquired second baseman-outfielder Emilio Bonifacio from the Diamondbacks for RHP Jon Rauch. If Jim Bowden wasn't already on the way out, this should do it. He just traded one of the best relievers in the market for a single prospect who isn't at all likely to become an adequate regular. Losing Rauch will hardly doom the franchise when it's ready to contend in 2010 at the earliest, but Bowden should have done a lot better or just kept his reliever, who wasn't going to be a free agent until after 2010. Bonifacio will go to Triple-A for now, but the Nats will probably give him a shot at second base in August. His speed might give him some fantasy value then, but he projects as a long-term reserve.

Not that I am the biggest fan of Dan Uggla in the world or anything but what are we planning on doing with Coughlan then? Maybe Washington doesn't trade within the division but they clearly got raped and Coughlan would have been an upgrade over Bonaficio.

I actually think the front office trades Uggla for prospects, before he becomes a free agent, and Coghlan will take his place at 2B.

This organization has traded their stars year after year, when will we finally get to keep them? I realize we signed Hanley Ramirez long term, but I don't want it to end there. I was thinking more along the lines of moving Uggla to 3B or 1B and having Coghlan play 2B.

I hope that's the case but if we are going to do this, then better sooner than later because I only see Uggla value going down.
