1. Atilano. In 16 starts he’s now 6-7, 5.15 era, 1.49 whip. The team is 6-10 in his starts. More telling: in 5 of his 16 starts now he’s given up as many earned runs as innings pitched. That’s just not acceptable. I realize there’s nobody really better (Chico? Martis?) until one of Detwiler/Wang/Zimmermann/Marquis/Olsen recovers from injury but man. Its brutal.
2. Leake. Like this kid. He looks a lot like Bronson Arroyo, even down to the stupid haircut. A ton of movement with a mlb-average fastball and decent control. I know everyone is talking about the St. Louis rookie pitcher Garcia but i like this guy. Taken 2 picks before Storen; imagine if he had fallen to us at the #10 spot lastyear?
3. At what point in the season do we do what is obviously right for the team and stick Bernadina in center and Morse in right? Morse is hitting .324/.375/.554 with 4 homers in 80 plate appearances. That’s almost a 30 homer clip extrapolated out to a full season. Have we found our right field solution by accident? Bernadina is doing great; he has some power, hits for average, has some decent speed (7 sbs). Maybe we stick him in center. Morgan has easily the worst OPS+ on the team right now and has a .315 on base percentage at leadoff. Unacceptable. Even Guzman, he of the 4 walks in 600 plate appearances last season, has a better OBP this year. And nearly as many walks as Morgan!
Nats currently on track for 69-93 season and the 7th overall pick. And if we succumb to pressure and trade Dunn or Willingham or both, we may not score the rest of the season…
