Probably Stras too.

With the new park, I think CC is the last big name free agent pitcher signing the Yanks have.  They will have to trade for and develop pitchers from now on.  We've already seen a number of veteran premiere free agent pitchers turn them down and I think that trend continues.

ive always seen strasburg as way more likely to leave the nats than harper

not quite sure why (probably that strasburg's personality always makes him seem kinda grumpy about being here)

if i had to choose one of them to stay here for a very long time itd be bryce, no contest

Harper could handle NY.  I'm not so sure about Strasburg.

I could see Stras going out west, maybe closer to home. I'd love to see Bryce stay around. Who knows though, his popularity can only rise, we'll see how successful Nats are down the road...

Also, what is it with the Nats thumping or getting thumped? 13 to 4? For real?

I hope Strasburg's arm make it til he is traded but I'm skeptical...

They should definitely keep Bryce Harper no matter what...

It was good to see him go 8 innings [finally], but we'll see. According to "experts" his "mechanics" still need work.

I believe they're around the pace they were last year.. Not to mention the injuries. It also seems like anyone in the #2 slot can't do dick at the plate. Werth was supposed to return Friday, now they're saying it could be 2 more weeks. Uy.

Neither are worth bragging about considering the pre-season hype.

The reasons are obvious - Anaheim doesn't have your pitching staff, and the Nat's don't have Mike Trout.

Yet, they have Mike Trout and are 9 under............ What's the arguement? Nats are better because of their entire pitching rotation, yet the Angels are better because they have Mike Trout?

Mike Trout > Stras, Gio, JZimm, Haren, and Detwiler? Really?

It was a joke, but your deductive reasoning skills still leave something to be desired.

The Angels would be better with Stras, Gio and JZimm (haha, you said Haren....$13M for 4-5 and an ERA over 5.00 in the NL - that's the only thing Anaheim got right in the off season).

The Nats would be better with Trout, because only Miguel Cabrera is a better hitter than Mike Trout.

That's all that joke was implying.

Nats don't have enough offensive power.. getting rid of Morse.I don't know about that move..
