NL East Notes: Nationals, Phillies, Ozzie

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | October 13, 2011 at 1:30pm CDT

On this date in 1993, the Phillies defeated the Braves in the NLCS and advanced to the World Series, which they lost in six games to the Blue Jays. Here are today's NL East-related links…

  • Mark Zuckerman of Nats Insider examines the Nationals' roster and shows that it takes years for general managers to fully make their mark on a team. Mike Rizzo has acquired most of Washington's players, but previous regimes acquired many others.
  • Justin Verlander sees strong similarities between himself and Stephen Strasburg, though Strasburg has shied away from the comparison in the past. “He throws 100 with a hammer and a changeup,” Verlander told Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post. “There’s really nobody else. Comparison-wise, it’s him and I right now.”
  • MLBTR's Tim Dierkes discussed a number of Phillies, including Cole Hamels, Ryan Madson, Jimmy Rollins and Hunter Pence, with Nick Mandarano on a recent podcast.
  • Ozzie Guillen will earn $10MM, not $16MM, over the next four years with the Marlins, according to Jon Heyman of SI.com (on Twitter).

      He hasn’t been so hot in the postseason.

      Verlander had without a doubt the best 2011 regular season, but best pitcher in baseball?Personally, I’d take Kershaw over him, if given the choice.

        There’s this guy in Philadelphia who disagrees with you… his name’s Roy Halladay, not sure if you’ve ever heard of him or not.
