Looks like he'll be fully recovered for the start of spring training. * The Nats are getting good news on the health of catcher Jesus Flores. Guzman will open the season as a starter at 2B or SS, but for now, nothing more is known. It all depends on free agent moves and trades. * The Nats still haven't determined that Cristian Guzman will move to second base. * Asked if he could see Bruney handling the closer's role, Rizzo said, "I think he's going to compete for the job." But yeah, Josh would be a difficult guy to move for us, definitely." We would only move him in a situation that improves our ballclub, but like we said, we're going to look at all avenues on all players. Rizzo, speaking about Willingham, added this: "He's a guy that we're not looking to move. Willingham's agent, Matt Sosnick, said today that he knew of intense trade interest in his client, but he'd be surprised if Willingham didn't open the season as the Nats' starting left fielder. * Willingham represents an interesting decision, but the balance of people Sheinin and I are talking to believe that A) Washington is maintaining a high asking price for its left fielder and B) the half-dozen teams with an interest in Willingham still prefer one of the big free agents (Holliday or Bay). He's one of the 10 names we've been talking about throughout the whole winter." "Yeah, we have interest in Jon Garland," he said. GM Mike Rizzo this afternoon admitted that his team was in the running. * First regarding Garland, the free-agent pitcher. They're hesitant to trade Josh Willingham without a great return. I don't think a lot of people are self-entitled, but I guess I'm a strange individual.Were this a twitter feed, I'd condense the Nats' buzz thusly: They have interest in Jon Garland. Basically, my friends gave me the name Tony Plush, and basically I kind of self-entitled my own name. It was basically me and my friends back home, around the age of 19 or 20, we called ourselves the Rat Pack. Nyjer Morgan, but basically on the field everyone sees Tony Plush, a hard-working individual that loves to play and leave it all out on the field. And he's something that the Brewers are happy to have over here now. The thing is: he's a deadly little player. He's a lot more patient than he was in the past. I haven't been on a three-game winning streak in about two years now, so this actually feels unbelievable. And the team camaraderie has been unbelievable. I didn't understand that there was gonna be great pitching here, too. The confidence that these young men have. On what he's learned about the Brewers in his short time here: And, basically, it feels good to be in a baseball city, with people who understand my game and love the aggressiveness and the hard work and the hard play I bring. And basically, you know, I figure one man's trash is another man's treasure in my eyes. I'm going to give you a few of the choice quotes below, but you need to listen to the whole thing, if only to hear Tony Plush's laugh.īasically, the process was the Nats wanted to get rid of me. On the heels of his latest sterling performance in today's win over the Braves, everybody's favorite Gentleman, new Brewer outfielder Nyjer Morgan, joined Steve "The Homer" True on ESPN 540's post-game show to spread NYJERMANIA to the masses.
