Following. Disappointing start for Bryce, hopefully his turn-around will send you into 1st place

Wow, Harper is really struggling, and Zimmerman is doing much better..

With T. Moore stinking it up on the bench are you considering bringing up A. Rendon. I read that they were getting him some PT at 2B in the minors so they could get his bat at the MLB level soon, then Zimmerman got hurt and now he is up. Here is link to a great article about it.

I've been thinking about it anyway, with Desmond out. Could play Espinosa a little at SS and play Rendon at 2B. Zimmerman has started to hit the last week or so, but Harper, even when he hits it hard just can't catch a break.

Thing is with Rendon, I want to keep it somewhat realistic so I don't want to bring him up if I can't get him regular at bats.

yeah having your 3 and 4 hitters hit about .200 combined is not helping.

Been busy lately but wanted to let you know I've been silently following.

Nats looking pretty good. Keep up the good work!
