08:11 AM ET 01.21 | While he was vacationing in Africa, Nationals manager Davey Johnson learned of Washington's signing free agent reliever Rafael Soriano. "That kind of surprised me," Johnson said Saturday. ... The Nationals already had a presumed incumbent closer in Drew Storen, who saved 43 games in 2011 but was slowed by injury last season, and another potential one in Tyler Clippard, who saved 32 games filling in for Storen. But Soriano came to Washington, as Rizzo said, to pitch in the ninth inning. ... "The guy that is most dominant as I'm concerned" will close, Johnson said. "As it stacks right now, [Soriano is] the No. 1 guy. But we'll see how they throw."

Management of the Nats has a short memory about Storen saving 43 games last year,they only remember the last one he blew against the Cards and they brought in Soriano to pitch the ninth.

the earl of baltimore is one of the most beloved figures.
in the city's of the sports history.
he led the O's to four pennant wins,six division titles and five 100-win seasons.

the job of arguing with the umpire belongs to the manager, because it won't hurt the team if he gets thrown out of the game'

Except there are good ways to go about it and bad ways.
jason stark has been on the replay beat for years, and he's been one of the loudest supporters of the inevitable changes.
He also has a new, in-depth column about the changes that might come in 2014,but 're not coming soon enough;

Nice problem to have.
Storen. Soriano. Clippard. Any of the three can handle it...just not against the Cardinals.
...the best policy

nice problem to have indeed, but injuries are flying around in every bullpen and you never have enough relievers,, should soriano workout for the nationals? should the nationals trade clippard to the trade offer from any other team??yes the nationals would and could get benefit in either way,,,
