Our leadoff man was Ian Desmond...

Not in the second half he wasn't.

Our leadoff man was Ian Desmond...

.315 last two seasons.

.334 this season




IMO, Werth should hit leadoff though, probably has the best on-base skills on the team.

Werth wasnt paid al that money to be a leadoff hitter. It just dont feel right.. I'd rather he be in the 3-4-5 spot. But thats jsut me.


Nationals have been lookin for a real leadoff man for a minute now..

 

[HHR]

He'd get the most ABs on the team.

Morse/Harper/Zimmerman should be 3-4-5, no?

Not in that order...but those 3....

His awareness on the base may be top-notch, but i dont think he's our best baserunner. Bernadina is the best.

Man, i just dont lilke him at leadoff for all that money.
his main objective is to get on-base so that would effect his power numebrs all year.


He's been our best leadoff man, but thats why we paid him that lucrative contract?

That's not what on-base skills means.

The Toronto Marlins?

 

[Alexander The Great]

Source: #BlueJays on verge of acquiring Josh Johnson from #Marlins. Deal could be even larger than that.

Buerhle headed to #BlueJays along with Josh Johnson, sources tell me and @jonmorosi

Yunel Escobar and Hechavarria part of package going from #BlueJays to #Marlins. Monster deal.

Jose Reyes could - repeat, could - be part of this. Two shortstops - Escobar, Hechavarria - going from #BlueJays to #Marlins.

Confirmed: Reyes going to #BlueJays. Henderson Alvarez also going to #Marlins.

 

[Walter H White]

[Alexander The Great]

[Alexander The Great]

Reyes and Burhele gotta be pissed

 

[The War Report]

Blue Jays made some good moves.


But they play on our division.

One source told me Johnson, Buehrle, Reyes, Buck and Bonifacio are all going to #BlueJays. I am working to confirm this. @MLBONFOX
