August 10, 200917 yr winners of 8 straight. I mean getting swept still hurt pretty bad, but hey when a team is hot, it's tough to stop em. I'm glad they're playing well though.
August 10, 200917 yr They had the bats, all they needed was some decent pitching and they would start to improve. Getting Nyjer Morgan has been great for them, and with guys like Dunn, Zimmerman and Willingham in the meat of their order, it doesn't suprise me to see them knocking in runs left, right and center.

They have an awesome 1-5. That's extremely hard to find on a MLB team.
August 10, 200917 yr Wish I could make it up to see a game or two.. it's a fun place to be when the Nats are winning, as long as they're not beating the Fish
August 10, 200917 yr They are such a good hitting team but there defense and mainly pitching has gave them many problems. They need to find a few more quality arms in the rotation and bullpen over the years along with a couple of good role players to become contenders.

If I were the Nats, and I know this sounds stupid, I would trade Dunn and Willingham in the offseason. The Nats could get some elite prospects for them two.

No they need a power hitter in there Lineup Like Dunn. Keep Dunn and Deal Willingham and Dukes/Morgan for some younger talent. They also want to get rid of Guzman so might aswell deal him while his trade value is high(He's been hitting .300 for the past 2 seasons but is getting older.)

I don't know about elite prospects, but they would probably get something good, and I agree, they should trade both of them.

Don't let this recent hot streak of theirs fool you, this is a bad team. You deal Dunn and Willingham because they both net you good ass prospects, and they are both getting up there in age. Plus, 2010 is the last year for Dunn in Washington. You DO NOT deal Dukes because he is young and has talent. That is what they need. Edit: Nyjer Morgan is 29. Didn't know that. Thought he was younger. They could deal him, too.

A left handed hitter that can get you 40+ homeruns and mantain a .400 OBP is rare. They could keep him for the 2010 season, then sell him before the trade deadline. Teams get pretty desperate during those times.
