Dirtlocker points for: Nick Johnson

For as good as Da Meat Hook was last year, the Nats still missed Nick Johnson dearly. It's difficult not to, considering he looks like Private Pyle and gets on base like Wade Boggs. Since breaking his leg in September of ‘06, at the tail end of the finest, fullest season of his career, it's been [...]

What do you do with a draft prospect with 1st-round talent but a burning desire to go to Stanford? Draft him in the 6th, sign him to a deal, and pay for him to go to college (and forgo his eligibility) so he can pitch for you for the next four summers. [Washington Post] [...]

If There's Grass on the Field, Play Ball (via Mr. Irrelevant)

Dirtlocker points for: Chad Cordero, Nick Johnson

Considering where the Nationals new stadium was just six short months ago, it is truly amazing that as of November 2, there is sod and grass on ground.
