In Annapolis and beyond, Joe Gross was larger than life

In Annapolis and beyond, Joe Gross was larger than life
When you're a rookie on the baseball beat, you're caught between a rock and a hard place. You want to act the part, be professional and do your job - which is a little hard when you're suddenly smack-dab in the middle of a major league clubhouse, chatting up the same players you previously cheered for from the stands. It's wonderful to realize a lifelong dream - and more than a bit scary, too. But back in 1993, when I made my first appearance on the Orioles beat as a freelancer for The...

Keith Law ranks Nats' farm system 21st in major leagues

Keith Law ranks Nats' farm system 21st in major leagues
Given his druthers, Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo would prefer to build his club the old-fashioned way: through effective scouting and a well-honed farm system. But trades for the past two offseasons that yielded the Nats left-hander Gio Gonzalez from the A's and center fielder Denard Span from the Twins have left the Nats' farm system a tad barren past a handful of top prospects. In his annual ranking of minor league systems (subscription required), ESPN's Keith Law says the...

Odds and ends from NatsFest

Odds and ends from NatsFest
NatsFest is over. At least I'm pretty sure it is. The media work area in Salon D is windowless and removed from where all the action was earlier this afternoon. But a lot of the ushers and greeters and helpers have been parading through the adjacent room, and that's a sure sign the paying customers have departed with a bunch of new curly W merchandise and Nationals memories to tide them over until spring training starts in a few weeks. Before I head over to a happy hour at Bobby Van's...

Warm greeting at NatsFest meant a lot to Storen

Warm greeting at NatsFest meant a lot to Storen
Drew Storen's elbow feels fine, and his psyche shows no scars from a meltdown in Game 5 of the National League Division Series that the right-hander would probably prefer to permanently file away, never to be remembered. A London vacation after the premature end to his season helped Storen unwind and begin the process of moving on past extremely personal disappointment. "It's harder because you don't have that game the next day to fix it," he explained. "That's why you look at Game 6...

Number, expectations changing for Tyler Moore

Number, expectations changing for Tyler Moore
There will be changes for first baseman/outfielder Tyler Moore in 2013. For starters, he's ditched the offensive lineman's No. 57 that used to be on his jersey. Instead, he's returned to a more familiar No. 12. "I've always had it," Moore said at NatsFest, "all through the minors." The last player to don No. 12 for the Nationals? Pinch hitter deluxe Matt Stairs in 2011. The number on his back won't be the only change Moore will deal with for 2013. With the trade of Michael Morse to...

Detwiler, Garcia ready to pitch, regardless of roles

Detwiler, Garcia ready to pitch, regardless of roles
Ross Detwiler probably will be the first of the Nationals' contingent to arrive in Viera, Fla., for spring training. He leaves Sunday. "It's nine degrees at home" in St. Louis, Detwiler said at NatsFest on Saturday. "I can't get outside." Temperatures in the 20s and 30s in Washington, D.C., are balmy by comparison - warm enough that Detwiler has been hoofing it around town since arriving Friday. The left-hander went 10-8 with a 3.40 ERA in 33 games, including 27 starts, last year and...

NatsFest is under way at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, and it didn't take long for fans to start cheering. At a "State of the Nationals" forum for season ticket holders featuring principal owner Mark Lerner and general manager Mike Rizzo, Lerner drew loud applause by proclaiming, "We're going to the World Series this year." There's little doubt that has been the focus since the Nationals' disheartening loss to the Cardinals in Game 5 of the National League Division Series...
