Wilson To Nats, D.C. Bloggers Not Happy
Looking to upgrade an offense that's scored the fewest runs in MLB, the Washington Nationals dealt pitcher Zach Day and outfielder J.J. Davis to the Colorado Rockies for Preston Wilson. And the reaction from the Nats bloggers has been from neutral to downright hostile. Here's Chris Needham: You're supposed to be happy when your team makes a trade, right? It shows that they're committed to winning and all that crap. Uh oh. Here's the Nats Blog only hours before the trade was announced: [I]t means that Wilson would go into the starting lineup relegating star-in-the-making rookie Ryan Church to the bench. Now if we then trade Church for something spectacular, what you are about to read may change, but we have to assume for the moment that the plan is simply to "upgrade" Church for Wilson. Let's get one thing verrrry clear. Preston Wilson is an extraordinarily huge downgrade from Ryan Church. Oleanders and Morning Glories isn't pleased, but says we should wait for things to play out: When you have a player hitting like Ryan has there are only two good reasons you bring in a potential replacement: Other thoughts: Nationalz is non-committal, Nationals Interest says it's a train wreck, Beltway Boys will wait and see.
