I was about to say that with the Nationals' pitching, this one is far from over and then Braun brings the team to within one.Except Suppan will still be pitching for us...
Arizona parted ways with Lopez because they were fearful that he would accept arbitration. Lopez did not recieve any multi year deals this past off season and he probably won't this off season. DBacks wanted no part of him beyond this year despite not having any 2B to replace him. Feel free to take whatever you want from that. http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/NickPiecoro/58200
Unfortunately any deal for Dan Haren would have to START with Ryan Braun.... There is no way Arizona moves Haren especially with question marks surrounding Brandon Webb... Haren is signed for cheap for the next few years...
Peavy could be had in the offseason. He's younger and signed longer.At the amount he is signed for it may not be worth it considering his recent injury history... Peavy's contract would be crippling for the Brewers! IMO
Dillard with a masterpiece performance tonight! He faces the minimum and gets a complete game win! Cain 2-2 with his first HR tonight! Great news on Mark Rogers as well!
Funny the one guy I don't want to see go is Parra... With McGehee, Heether, and Green all options at 3B I have no problem making Gamel the centerpiece.
He's not going to go in hard when he zero chance to score - that would be pointless. Counsell did get to third on the play, so rundown wasn't necessary.Except it could have got Braun to second... Although I am sure they would have walked Prince...
