Nats Notes: Guzman, Desmond, Carroll, Dunn

The Nationals are considering a number of options up the middle. Here's the latest:

  • MLB.com's Bill Ladson expects the Nationals to try trading Cristian Guzman this offseason. It won't be easy, given his $8MM salary.
  • Manager Jim Riggleman likes Ian Desmond, but others within the organization believe the infielder needs more minor league seasoning.
  • Could Ronnie Belliard return to play second base? Ladson doubts it.
  • Jamey Carroll doesn't seem likely to return to Washington, either. At least nine teams have interest in the 35-year-old.
  • The Nats are considering a couple defensive shortstops, too.
  • Since 2007, no fielder has cost his team more runs than Adam Dunn, according to Matthew Carruth of FanGraphs. Dunn will make $12MM in 2010 before becoming a free agent. It's hard to imagine him signing with an NL club again after next season.
