Devon White<\/span> has joined the organization as the new roving outfield instructor<\/span><\/a> (Nationals Journal<\/span>). I probably had his baseball card at some point, but don’t recall ever having watched him play. They say he was quite good though.<\/p>\n

Agency Seeks City’s Aid In Helping to Cover Rent Of Stadium’s Main Tenant<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
The D.C. Sports and Entertainment Commission just notified the city council that they won’t be pulling in as much money since their primary tenant is leaving at RFK Stadium. The Nats lease at Ballpark to be Named Later mandates that all rent money is to be used for paying back construction costs.<\/p>\n

Proposed D.C. Bowl Would Feature Service Academies<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
Perhaps a proposed college football bowl game would help recoup some of the losses for the Commission. The idea is to have a service academy play someone else in December at either Ballpark to be Named Later or RFK Stadium. My vote would be for RFK (put the academy students in the bouncing seats), but I will understand if the ballpark is chosen.<\/p>\n

Corey Paterson?<\/span><\/a> (nationals.com<\/span>) Why? Just for fun, let’s compare his stats with Ryan Church.<\/p>\n

Patterson<\/p>\n


SPLIT G   AB   R  H  2B 3B HR RBI SB   BA  OBP  SLG
Season 132 461 65 124 26  2  8  45 37 .269 .304 .386
<\/pre>\n
Church<\/p>\n

SPLIT G   AB  R  H   2B 3B HR RBI SB  BA   OBP  SLG
Season 144 470 57 128 43  1 15 70   3 .272 .349 .464
<\/pre>\n
But Patterson can bat leadoff you say! Well, .304 OBP is about right for a Nats leadoff hitter, right?<\/p>\n
I think there is something to be said for the “Andruw Jones or bust” at least more than for Corey Patterson.<\/p>\n
