Source: The Nats have agreed to terms with Adam LaRoche on a two-year deal.

Rizzo got it done on his terms, love that guy.


Wonder where Morse ends up, I hope we can get more than LH relief in return.

I'm really gonna miss singing Aha at the games.

Let the Morse to Baltimore rumors begin.

I'm gonna miss Morse.

I'm gonna miss Morse.

taaaaake....ooooooooon....meeeeeee

How about this lineup:

1. Span
2. Werth
3. Zimmerman
4. Harper
5. Laroche
6. Desmond
7. Espinosa
8. Ramos/Suzuko

Best lineup in the NL? Davey likes to rotate lefty righty so there might be some flip flops there but I think that's the best possible lineup for us.

Seemed like a given LaRoche was going back to the Nats. I didn't think a team would give up a 1st round pick plus the money he was asking for.

Thats pretty sick, especially when coupled with Stras/Zmann/Gio/Haren/Det

I think it will be

CF Span
LF Harper
3B Zimmerman
1B LaRoche
RF Werth
SS Desmond
2B Espinosa
C Ramos/Suzuki

[Warhead36]

I prefer Werth hitting near the top. We need Harper's power in the middle driving in runs.

[PleaseBlitz]

I think it will be

CF Span
RF Werth
LF Harper
3B Zimm
1B LaRoche
SS Desmond
2B Espi
C Suzuki/Ramos

That makes it exactly LRLRLRLR if Espinoza continues to switch hit, which he will.

[STBonecrusher21]

Wow. Wasnt expecting this news!

Welcome back Rochey!!

[Gator Bait]

I think it will be

CF Span
LF Harper
3B Zimmerman
1B LaRoche
RF Werth
SS Desmond
2B Espinosa
C Ramos/Suzuki

this....what a good problem to have. You really aren't utilizing Desmond as much here, but I'm not putting him in front of any of the other guys. By far the best lineup in baseball....just imagine if Rendon ever reaches his potential!

[DCchillin89]

Great news! As much as I like Morse, LaRoche was the smarter decision. 2 year deal at first, then hand the reins to Moore/Zimmerman, etc. Our biggest problem now is our bullpen. We need to add power lefties for the 6th/7th/8th...

I also wonder who are last bench player is gonna be... So far it looks like Lombo/Moore/Shark/Ramos rounding out the bench

On that note - who is the opening day catcher?

This is the lineup I'd prefer most. Werth is almost exactly what I want in a #2 hitter, we finally have a real leadoff guy, and I'd prefer Zimmerman in the #3 spot. Harper and LaRoche are interchangeable at this point, but Harper is going to have the #4 spot locked down soon. Depending on how well Ramos hits, I might move him ahead of Espinosa...guess it all depends on which Espinosa we get this year.

I think it has to be Ramos, he's the most talented when healthy.
