If Flores does get non-tendered, I’d predict the mets going after him.

Orioles should sign John Lannan to a cheap deal to fill a role in the back end of their rotation

This isn’t even fair… The systems messed up, it exponentially rewards teams that don’t spend money, put a shitty team on the field for years, gives them a bunch of high first round picks then makes them juggernauts for a fraction of the price. More teams should tank on purpose so they can “rebuild”like the Nationals. While other teams that remain competitive get stuck with mid picks where the odds of drafting someone of top quality becomes extremely lower. I could rant on about this for days but there really is no use.

This is one of the most ridiculous posts I have ever read. Were you making the same complaints when Nationals were losing 100 games in a season? We make one playoff appearance in about 30 years and you think it is unfair that Nationals have some talented players. What team do you root for? I would like to see your team do the same because we are not made of just #1 picks (Harper and Strasburg). Moore, Lombardozzi, Espinosa, Desmond, Stammen, and all guys traded for Gio were drafted in 3rd or later rounds. I can’t believe you are seriously complaining about this.

The is no way the Nats keep Gorzelanny at 2.8 Milliion, that money will be better spent reuping Gonzalez or getting a new lefty. Also do not count out John Lannan replacing Edwin Jackson as the “5th” starter and using the extra money to resign LaRoche or go after a free agent, maybe Bourne or Upton

I think Nationals should extend two guys; Jordan Zimmermann and Tyler Clippard. Clip has pitched the most innings for a reliever this past 3 seasons, 252 IP. I think we should reward this guy for his work. What a tremendous job he has done for us! 12-15 million for 3-4 years would be great. There is a risk of an injury given his high pitch (4220 pitches, also top most among relievers), but I think his workload should decrease as Nationals have few more RH relievers with good stuff like Stammen, Garcia, Mattheus. One thing I hope from his is another pitch if he can learn because his deception skills are not always working.
JZ has truly been as much ace as SS. He has shown more maturity on the mound, basically more proven pitcher. I would like to see him extended for a five or six year deal, 45 – 50 million. He has one of the best K/BB ratios.

part of why I am proud of the Nationals and what they’ve done (proving
me right from 4-5 years ago) is the fact that we have something in
common. We have both been decimated by Jeffrey Loria’s bs. Unfortunately
for me, I have to wait at least 10 years to be rid of him, but at least
you guys get what you deserve. You have an amazing farm system right
now. I personally would not go after Michael Bourne. You have internal
options and multiple trade pieces as well. I dont think anyone would
take Werths horrible contract off your hands, but you do have Tyler
Moore, Michael Morse, etc.
