Nationals GM Jim Bowden expressed happiness with his core group of young players -- Elijah Dukes, Lastings Milledge and Ryan Zimmerman -- and a desire to upgrade at first base. He also offered support for Manny Acta, saying that his second-year manager will become a winner "once he gets the horses." Bowden said that his team should not go into 2009 with Nick Johnson and Dmitri Young -- both of whom have spent this year either injured or unable to perform -- as its lone options at first base.

They need to be looking for some pitching as well. I've seen better staffs on a whiffle ball team.

horses? What they need are Clydesdales! They've got a couple of good pitchers, but looking at the rest of the team as a whole raises quite a few red flags in my mind. The could build around Zimmerman and John Lannan. Trouble is, nobody wants to play for them...which is a very sad commentary on the Nats.

My "way out there prediction" watch out though cause I'm usually right - the Nationals go bigtime into free agency and land Mark Texiera for 2009. You heard it here first !!!
