I don’t blame Flores for wanting to leave. Wilson Ramos is gonna be a beast and I don’t see Flores getting much playing time.

Your making no sense. Jesus Flores wants to go elsewhere because he is never going to supplant Wilson Ramos as the starting catcher. He was highly regarded two years ago before he got hurt but now he is not going to start for the Nats. So why wouldn’t he want to leave? and whats wrong with putting Drew Storen and Tyler Clippard into the trade market?
What do these two things have to do with the nationals announcers always talking about the teams future?

unless I’m missing something NYBravosFan10 said what you said: Flores won’t get playing time with Ramos as starting catcher so he (Flores) should want to leave.
EDIT: seems NYBravos edited his post after FacelessGM responded. now the confusion ends.

He completely changed everything he put originally. Not one word is the same as when i commented. Im not an idiot, he just made me seem like one.
FacelessGeneralManager
You missing that he completely edited his post, what it says now is exact opposite of what he said before, actually, he changed his post to reflect the comment.

i edited it because I got Wilson Ramos and Jesus Flores mixed up. My original comment was based on Flores being the young stud and future of that position but I noticed my mistake and completely rewrote my comment.

In that case, no worries!!

Pete Mackanin has the experience of playing the game for 8 years, but has only managed on his own for portions of two seasons. An advantage he does have is that he’s been Manuels bench coach for a few years now. It’s going to take a lot of time to sort out and find someone who will fit perfect and succeed as Tito did, but I have faith Bostons front office can pull it off. Dave Martinez is another name mentioned, learning under Maddon is ceratainly a plus. I’m excited as the process is underway, but deep down I’m still hurting. Terry, come back!

I’m not too worried about managers having an extensive track record personally, as I’m more interested in how they get along with the players than anything. Mackanin, Martinez, and Ryne Sandberg would be my top three choices for the position right now.

Mackanin is a darn good manager. He got shafted in Cincy for probably the worst manager ever. (They were looking for experience that off season. Not quality.) I really wish someone would give him a chance. He won’t disappoint.

I’m not implying that we need someone with an extensive track record, but it would be nice to have a little something more to go off of. I believe learning under Manuel and Maddon alone is enough, but having more to go off of would be a little better IMO.

So span for lombardozi, storen and bernadina anyone?
hallwagner
i honestly think the nats could get more than JUST span for that. maybe span AND a good prospect.

If the Nationals can get away with not giving up Storen, that would be rad… probably would be a tipping point though.

Dodgers makes a lot of sense as a starting job. I could also see Flores going to the Twins as a way to drop Mauer’s time at catcher, with Flores and Mauer in a 50/50 catching time split and Mauer at DH when Jesus is catching.
