What does the future hold for Wilson Ramos?

What does the future hold for Wilson Ramos?
Anyone else a little bit surprised to see Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos among the National League finalists for a Rawlings Gold Glove Award? Yes, Ramos effectively controls the opposition's running game - gunning down 24 of 54 would-be base stealers last season - and has improved his game-calling ability. His .995 fielding percentage certainly looks impressive. But I don't know anyone who doesn't cringe when a throw from the outfield skips in front of the plate because of Ramos' inability...

Don Mattingly is suddenly available, but are Nationals interested?

Don Mattingly is suddenly available, but are Nationals interested?

Me, I'm always happy when there are different teams in the postseason, and this year's final four guaranteed at least one new team in the World Series. But it'll be at least another season full of references to the billy goat, black cat, Bartman and the Cubs' long World Series drought. At the Cubby Bear, they're probably still drowning their sorrows. You...

On Mike Rizzo and the Nationals' managerial search
Well, the parade has begun. Just not the one Bryce Harper envisioned when he uttered, "Where's my ring?" and thought hopefully of what a Constitution Avenue celebration might look like. The procession of potential candidates to replace the fired Matt Williams as manager of the Nationals is under way on South Capitol Street. Well, we assume the candidates are interviewing at the team's Nationals Park offices. The way the Nationals are handling this managerial search is so surreptitious that...
