Hey there happy nats fans!<\/p>\n
A tough loss last night (witnessed by our friend droopy) puts the nats now into a Tie for 7th overall draft pick next year!<\/p>\n
And, with a tough 3-game away series coming up in Philadelphia (where we face Halladay<\/strong>, Kendrick <\/strong>and then Oswalt<\/strong>) we might be creeping up further still.\u00a0 My goal is the #3 spot (we’re only 4.5 games behind Arizona for that).\u00a0 Baltimore and Pittsburgh flipped spots at the top of the board by virtue of a 2 game swing recently.\u00a0 It’ll be hard to catch them.<\/p>\n Current 2011 draft order<\/p>\n Updated 8\/19\/10<\/p>\n 1: Pittsburgh 40-80 After Houston, there’s a 5 game gap to a cluster of teams like Milwaukee, Oakland, Detroit and Florida that probably will stay.\u00a0 So the top 9 are worth tracking.<\/p>\n How about Arizona?\u00a0 Probably looking at the #3 and #7th picks next year, in a pretty deep draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey there happy nats fans!
