Minor league baseball is super fun in person because you and a bunch of friends can get great seats, and real drunk, for like $75. I can't imagine it's very fun on TV. I mean, no one stops me from drinking and yelling at the TV Nationals.

Padres drafted Johnny Football so I'm pretty sure these last few rounds aren't 100% necessary.

.....and somehow I just learned this happened to Braves pitcher Pascual Perez in 1982:

I don't know why the idea of a professional athlete being late to work is so funny to me.

Man I'm really happy with the Nationals recent decision to start hitting the ball and scoring runs. It's amazing what you can do when your starters aren't all on the DL.

So...Wilson Ramos. I don't know what to think of the man. Middling defender, good offense for a catcher, but such a huge injury liability...

Yankees signed Heath Bell to a minor league deal for some reason.

Man Heath Bell, a great example of how fast a reliever can turn to poo poo.

The Nationals have their lineup back together and looked really good against tonight. It was against Rockies pitching but hey! I'd like to see them try and swap Zimmerman to second for Rendon but I doubt they will.

Span can't hit but he looks good in the outfield, to me at least. I really can't evaluate fielders all that well thought so maybe I'm talking crazy!

Whoever originally suggested 3B Rendon SS Desmond 2B Zimmerman etc was probably right. Rendon has some history with ankle issues and Zimmerman has shoulder issues. If they'd started working with Zimmerman at 2B over the off-season, it might have worked but I guess you can't just do that with one of your "franchise" players.

Span's a pretty good CF, he's just never been much of a hitter. There isn't an area where he really stands out other than being a guy you're not embarrassed to put in the lineup everyday so you get a competent defender in center.

Yeah someone in here was where I first saw the Zimmerman 2B Rendon 3B idea and it really seems like the logical choice. Zimm has good footwork and reactions, he can handle second and the easier throws will be just what he needs, may even help keep him on the field more.
