Elijah Dukes to WASH, Glenn Gibson to TB

Dukes and Lastings in the same outfield, are they sure they dont want to add Milton Bradley to round an all crazy outfield. I guess the padding on the walls will have a double meaning now.

 

I would love to see an intra-team brawl in the outfield.... please please.

I wouldn't. I'd definitely take a shot on a guy with that much talent. There's zero risk here for the Nats.

 

I actually like what Jim Bowden is doing this offseason, he ships pretty much dead weight to the Mets for Milledge, then gets Dukes.

Dead weight, really? Church is a pretty good score for the Mets, as he is actually proven at the plate, and Schneider is a solid overall catcher. Bowden keeps on showing that he is far too in love with toolsy outfielders.

 

He's assembled some interesting talent in Washington, but he is still severly lacking in impact bats, the type of hitters that can carry a team and make players like Milledge, Dukes, Kearns, Pena and even Ryan Zimmerman look that much better.

 

Oh yeah, and he still needs starting pitching, and a lot of it. Sounds a lot like his days with the Reds.

Maybe you forgot they already have Dmitri Young. According to today's paper, he is being used to "babysit" Elijah next year. Since Nick Johnson should be back at 1st, they will have to put Dmitri somewhere.

it's a great trade. I' m sure glad the brewers didn't make it. the rays are definitely clearing room for upton to be their full time CF. Dukes has power, but also has a bad leg. I have visions of kirk Gibson limping around the bases.
