I think the Nationals should lock up Willingham for a three year deal for like 14 million. Then I think they should trade Adam Dunn to the White Sox for Brent Morel+Carlos Torres+John Shelby+C.J. Retherford. They can move Willingham to first where they can open up the outfield to the platoon of Harris, Morse, Bernhadina and Morgan for the rest of the year. So you can possibly have a future INF of Willingham 1B, Retherford or convert Morel to 2B, Desmond SS, Zimmerman 3B with at least Bryce Harper in RF and whoever else.

Good post. I agree with pretty much everything you said. They really should lock him up.

it’s a good sign for the nats that both dunn and willingham want to stay. the nats are slowly becoming a destination worth considering.

I would say Washington quickly became a destination worth considering – the day Strasburg signed with the Nats.

I think it’s obvious why, like Roberty said. Add that if they sign Harper (or have they already?), and figure to get some early picks in the future, it’s an easy decision.

“getting early picks in the future” is *NOT* what makes a team a viable destination for free agents.
strasburg was an exception to that, potentially. but even harper is a couple of years away from playing for the nats and any future pick, even if it was the #1 pick, is no guarantee to ever play for any team.

He was awesome as a Marlin and wish him all the best. He deserves some kind of a contract. Nats shouldn’t let him go…Go Fish!!

If the Nats ever got some SP, they would be a decent team with playoff chances
Until then, they are an average offensive team and a joke of a pitching team except Strausberg
