You > Matt Williams.Magic number's at 2
At this point, should Rafael Soriano even be on the postseason roster? If I were in charge he wouldn't be.
You > Matt Williams.
Who do you take out of the lineup? Span is on fire, Werth is playing well, and Harper's power is back. I can't really decide where I'd put Zim. I wouldn't wanna take any of those guys out, and anywhere he goes he'll be a defensive liability.Zimmerman will be in the OF.

I know it's far better than having Zim at the hot corner, but isn't Cabrera a weak link, borderline liability at 2B defensively?
I'm interested to see how he uses Ryan Zimmerman in the playoffs. Can't have him playing 3B and making crucial errors, especially since his bat won't be back up to speed yet. We'd have to make it to the World Series for him to be the DH. LaRoche is hot right now so we can't put him at 1B. Rendon and Cabrera at 3B/2B are significantly superior defensively than having Zim in at 3B. Can't put him back out in LF. Guess we're gonna have an $100M pinch hitter.
No Terry Collins?How do you guys feel about the awards so far?
I think I have...
AL MVP - Trout winning...Felix/Kluber/Brantley/Seager/Cano/Bautista all in the mix in some order behind him.
NL MVP - Kershaw (would have loved to see a couple more weeks of Stanton though ). Lucroy/Gomez/Cutch/Rendon/Buster. Btw, I'm an Upton fan but this swoon is why I could never elevate him. Dude went off a cliff in late August and in September, right when Atlanta needed him most. He's too goddamn streaky.
AL Cy Young - Felix...this is the closest one, Kluber & Sale are having such monster seasons...Sale with another 40 innings like this . AL is so stacked between those 3, Lester, Price, Hughes, Scherzer, Quintana and Richards.
NL Cy Young - Kershaw by far.
AL ROY - Abreu by far.
NL ROY - I love DeGrom but it's probably Hamilton.
AL MOY - IDK, Buck maybe? I think Yost (and Sciosia to an extent) win despite their blunders. I always try to plug Joe G for all the unappreciated work he has done the last two years but missing the playoffs won't help.
NL MOY - Man, if they give it to Hurdle what Ron Roenicke and Mike Redmond have done with those atrocious rosters is pretty outstanding to me.
I'd rather not leave his bat out, but the guy takes forever to get going. He's gonna need all the at bats he can get down the stretch if he's gonna be counted on to be somewhat productive.I feel like they'll rotate guys out of the lineup to keep Zimmerman's bat in.
I really don't like Zimmerman and I know he's a defensive butcher, but I can't imagine the Nats leaving his bat out of the lineup.
hope they don't do that. Zimmerman costing us a game because he can't throw the ball to 1B would be the most DC Sports thing to happen ever.I honestly think they'll take the risk and put him at 3rd. Move Rendon to second and bench Espinosa/Cabrera. They'll use the Cardinal series as a crutch and say the positives he brings on offense outweighs the negatives on defense. It screams Matt Williams move.
Or I can see Bryce pissing Williams off over the next couple of weeks and he'll bench him for Zimm in the OF
He's been alright from the eye test. Makes the plays he should, he's also made a few outstanding plays as well. From a metrics standpoint, he's been pretty unspectacular.I know it's far better than having Zim at the hot corner, but isn't Cabrera a weak link, borderline liability at 2B defensively?
Congrats, fellas. Please win the NL and make my March prediction look good.Division champs! Let's go! @Mr Marcus @Deuce King
