FINALLY! If they aren’t going to make the playoffs, might as well see what the kids can do.

May have rushed it. You figure there’s he’s going to rack up 40 days rest of August and September, could have made it 30 if they waited till the end of August. Going forward 10 days may be an issue if super two comes into play (2 years 140 days). Just needs 2 years 100 after this.

I look at this as more of an audition for Turner with Desmond headed to FA. Super Two status wouldn’t really be an issue moving forward. If he knocks it out of the park in his call up this season and Nats install him at SS next year and he holds it down and stays on the roster the rest of the way. Then even at the end of 2017 he won’t be a super two, and at the end of 2018 he’d be up for arb no different than if he started Opening day next year. If he falters and goes up and down the next couple years then maybe after 2018 he’s a super two but if his numbers aren’t good enough to stay on the roster then reaching super two status in a few years isn’t a big deal anyways as his first arb salary would have a very low base to build off of and not cause much concern the following 3 years. Your math doesn’t really make sense even in the ideal best case scenario (he stays on the roster and plays at a high level) as he’d still have 3 years ’16,’17, ’18 that the Nats can pay him at the league min.

I don’t see him doing much this year, or next.

According to you, every prospect is bad except the Cubs’ prospects

Hoping to god this means a lot less Ian Desmond at shortstop

The Nats getting Joe Ross (#3 starter?) and Trea Turner (good candidate to be starting SS eventually) for Stephen Souza and minor leaguer Travis Ott could be the best haul in recent memory.
Steve 39
Jake Arrieta (ace/Cy Young candidate) and Pedro Strop (very good reliever) for a half season of Scott Feldman and Steve Clevenger is a much better haul
Brixton
Theres a handful that are significantly better.
The Bartolo/Lee/Phillips/Sizemore deal
RA Dickey to the Jays for Thor and D’Arnaud
The Tex to the Braves deal
Hunter Pence to the Phillies
Arrieta to the Cubs
The Jays/Marlins monster trade (Marlins got a crazy haul)
I had a few more but the comment had to be approved and I forgot them.

Somewhere, AJ Preller is kicking himself for trading away Turner.

Let’s at least wait until Turner does something first.

Desmond has been hitting very well the past 2 months. This seems like a bit of a headscratcher
Brixton
Hes been great in August.
Hit .190 is July.

His power came back immediately after the All-Star break, but you’re right, he had a miserable slump before then which brought his overall numbers down. Still, his offense numbers for a SS are still great. Very few SS provide double digit HRs and SBs.
