A Young Future

     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.
