Quick Nationals Thoughts

A week later, the Soriano Trade still feels like the Winter Meetings Massacre.

Rick Short should stay here and play instead of being dispatched to Japan. Once again, I am completely befuddled why this GM insists on signing below average backup infielders on the expensive when we have perfectly good above average infielders on the cheap. Grrr...

Frank Robinson staying - hooray! I may not always agree with him, but he's Frank Fuckin' Robinson. Now let's see if we can get him to break his "call a bunt anytime there's a guy on first with less than two outs" habit.

Randy St. Claire staying - phew! I was terrified they were going to let him go and our pitching staff would proceed to really suck. Randy St. Claire is the best pitching coach in baseball - period. Anyone who could turn Esteban Loaiza, and Hector Carrassco from the top of the scrap heap to the top of the free agent market in a year deserves respect. The guy knows how to teach, and knows how to get the best out of his players.
