The Washington Nationals have recently brought up young prospects for their expanding roster. Their best prospects that they brought up are arguably Danny Espinosa and Wilson Ramos. Danny as played in over 5 games, but his numbers are already remarkable. He is hitting over .400, has 3 homeruns(which one was a grand slam) and 10 RBI's. He has showed that he has great speed and arms at the defensive positions of shortstop and second base. He will most likely start for the Nationals next season at second base, and Ian Desmond at shortstop.
Wilson Ramos has also shown he is almost ready for the big leagues. He has done an amazing job catching for the Nationals pitchers. He has also been getting amazing mentoring from future hall of famer catcher Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez. He hasn't shown that he is a very good hitter, but he does have a few hits, and a home run.
So the future looks good in those positions for the Nationals. They also have Roger Bernadina who is already starting and doing an amazing job in left field. They do have Bryce Harper who is going to be a starter in a couple of years. So he might have some competition with the youngsters.

Nyjer Needs to Calm Down
Washington Nationals CF Nyjer Morgan started a bench clearing brawl 10 minutes ago in Florida. He intentinally ran into their catcher last night. He got hit by a pitch intentionally earlier tonight, the marlins trieed to do it again, missed, and he ran and jumped on the marlins pitcher throwing punches.
After all benches and bullpens coming in the middle of the field, over 4 people were ejected, including nyjer morgan, when he was leaving the field, he was yelling at the fans and making signs.
This is complelety unproffessional Nyjer Morgan, you might have ruined your career in the past week.
You heard it here first.

The losing team Curse
There are many very good rookies in the national league this season, people like Jayson Heyward and Buster Posey. They both are helping their teams push for the postseason. But what about others?
The Washington Nationals have a dazzling rookie shortstop by the name of Ian Desmond, heard of it? Probably not. He has been with this organizationin the minors since the Montreal Expos moved to Washington. The Nats called him up to be the starting shortstop for them this season, and he has done an amazing job. He's got a .279 average, 9 home runs, 22 doubles, 3 triples, and 54 rbis. He has also done fabulous job defensively at the shortstop position. Although he has 29 errors he has a strong arm, and good accuracy. His fielding ways remind me of Ryan Zimmerman when he was younger, and he turned out to be one of the best fielders in the game.
So why isn't Ian Desmond even partly ever mentioned in the NL Rookie of the year talks? Because he is on a losing team. I hear about how Jason Heyward or Buster Posey does every day, but thats they both are on playoff contending teams.
I'll give Heyward props although, when i watched him play in Atlanta, he looked great. He has a great swing, swing accuracy, and knows how to run the basebaths. He was also amazing in the outfiield.
I just feel Ian Desmond should get some props of an outstanding rookie season, and he has a lot of potential.

Out with the Old, In with the Young
Jason Marquis is a starting pithcer for the Washington Nationals. He is 32, and has had a pretty good career in the mlb, and even as a child. When he was younger he was in the little leaugue world series, and did quite well.
Jason hasn't done well for the Nationals though. He has had six starts for us this season, which he has six losses. His ERA is over eleven, which is the worst i have ever heard of this far in the season. Except, he was out most of the season with an injury, but even before that he was doing awful. I believe the Nationals need to let him go now, trade him off of waivers, or wait until the offseason to trade him. He has a good amount of money from us right now, which he isn't worth.
Our starting rotation is Stephen Strasburg, John Lannon, Scott Olsen, Livan Hernandez, and Jason Marquis. Stephen is definitley our pitcher that has done the best. Livan has done extremely well for us this season. John has been doing the same lately, just what we expect out of him. Scott hasn't done as well as expected, but sometimes it is because of run support, and he has done good when that happens, but Jason! He has done completely awful, six starts and six losses is way to bad for this growing good organization.
Now Jason is 32, and clearly past his pime with the injuries and surguries. We have more than two or three good young pitchers waiting for their chance to shine, which should come soon.
Jordan Zimmerman is starting in Strasburgs place thursday, and he has done well in his rehab starts in the minor leagues. If he shows he can start and do good in the mlb for the rest of the season, he should get a spot in that starting rotation next year. Jason Marquis shouldn't.
Another few kids that could start for us, Craig Stammen, Ross Detwiler, and Shairon Martis when he gets off of the DL. Jason Marquis shouldn't.
This is what our starting rotation should be for the 2011 season.
1. Stephen Strasburg
2. John Lannon
3. Livan Hernandez
4. Scott Olsen
5. Jordan Zimmerman
Now if anyone just does awful, we hopefully will have Shairon Martis, Craig Stammen, or Ross Detwiler. JASON MARQUIS SHOULDN'T.

Gently Throwing in the towl
Stephen Strasburg needs to sit out the rest of the season. He has been put on the DL again for a strained flexor muscle in his throwing elbow. He has worked out since, just hasn't thrown a pitch.
I think he needs to worry about his career with the Nationals and be careful with his magical arm. He has done very good things for this organization already and needs to focus on next season. He has said that loves this organization. So I can see him signing an extension with us in a few years, hopefully he will spend his whole career here, that would be wonderful.
So Stephen, rest your arm and help us make the playoffs and get our first winning season next season.
