Some reports say former Yankee Chien-Ming Wang<\/span> will sign with DC<\/span><\/a>. I think the negotiations went some along the line of<\/p>\n Wang: What do you take me for?<\/p>\n Rizzo: We’ve already established that, now we’re just haggling over price.<\/p>\n Wang is really just a stopgap to take up roster space until Stephen Strasburg<\/span> and other young pitchers are ready. That and a euphemism that Speaking of young pitching, Jordan Zimmermann<\/span> wants to pitch again in September<\/span><\/a> (nationals.com<\/span>). He had Tommy John surgery in the middle of last season. He’s throwing the a ball 90 feet now. Apparently, former Post<\/span> intern Adam Kilgore<\/span> is Chico Harlan<\/span><\/a>‘s replacement on the Nats beat. Like Harlan, Kilgore is a Syracuse grad, but hopefully unlike Harlan he like sports<\/span>. NatsFanBoyLooser<\/span> is familiar with Kilgore and pleased by the news<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n Speaking of beat writers, Mark Zuckerman<\/span>, late of The Wash. Times, is blogging<\/span><\/a>. He also asked for donations<\/span><\/a> on his blog to send him to spring training and it was an overwhelming success. He met his $5,000 goal in a couple of days and has already doubled it. Good for him — he was the best reporter on the Nats beat last year and he is going to keep on doing what he did, but I’ll admit I’m not as into this whole thing as say, FJB<\/span><\/a>. Mr. Irrelevant interview Zuckerman too<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n Capital Punishment was going really strong<\/span><\/a> for a little while. Then again, so was I.<\/p>\n If it is a reference to two snow storms ago and misspelled, it has to be Natstown<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n Any season ticket holders want to help me by single-game tickets for Opening Day?<\/p>\nthe gentleman of the Natmosphere have completely avoided<\/strike> noted.<\/p>\n
Kris Benson<\/span><\/a> (nationals.com<\/span>)? Isn’t he just just Kip Wells<\/span> with a trashy wife? I think the pitching mound has had enough of the Pittsburgh diaspora. I suppose Benson could tell Strasburg about being #1 overall, but would any of it be good? Perhaps if Strasburg was instructed to do the opposite of anything Benson says. Seems unnecessary though.
