This Seasons Dunn- What the Nationals should do at the trade deadline
I know, this may seem irrational, childish, and incredibly short-sighted- but it needs to be done. Don't worry Stan, you don't need to leave the office. I'll do the scouting. I'll bring you the ideas. Just fucking do it, before im forced to run on the field and get physical with Mike McDougal.
1. Trade OF Josh Willingham to the Reds for LHP Daniel Herrera and RHP Homer Bailey.
Yes, I know Willingham is having a breakout season, but everytime he comes up in an important spot, he chokes. He will never be more coveted, especially by the OF needy Reds. Herrera(2.97 ERA) has been solid out of the pen, and Bailey is former highly regarded prospect who the Reds have given up on.
2. Trade OF Austin Kearns to the Cubs, Cubs trade OF Milton Bradley to the Tigers, Tigers trade LHP Mauricio Robles to the Nationals.
Kearns is expensive and terrible, but a all-around good guy. Bradley is expensive, slightly less terrible, and a complete headcase. But the Tigers are fucking desperate. Who the fuck is Robles you ask? A 20 yr old left handed starter thats been decent in High-A ball. I would say thats a good haul for a guy hitting .196.
3. Trade OF Adam Dunn and LHP Joe Beimel to the Yankees for RHP's Phil Hughes,Ian Kennedy, Andrew Brackman, and C Francisco Cervelli.
The Yankees will be, as usual, aggressive at the deadline. Dunn was made to play in ''The House that Roids Built.'' Beimel will give NY a 2nd lefty in the pen'. As for the Nats haul, Hughes has started to put things together out of the pen, Kennedy was terrible when called up last year but has been dominating AAA, Brackman has been terrible in low-A ball but is a former #1 draft choice with a 99mph heater. Cervelli is a decent catcher prospect.
4. Trade 1B Nick Johnson and SS Cristian Guzman to the Red Sox for RHP's Justin Masterson and Daniel Bard, LHP Dustin Richardson, and 1B Lars Anderson.
The Red Sox have already been active, acquiring Chris Duncan and Adam LaRoche, 2 guys who both hit left handed and play 1st base. That said, Nick Johnson's a major upgrade. Cristian Guzman will fill the Sox long standing hole at SS. On the Nats side of things, Masterson's a solid righty who would get a chance to start in Washington. Bard throws 100 and looks like a future closer. Richardson is a set-up prospect putting up good #s at AA. Anderson projects as a future ''.280 35hr''-type hitter.
5. Trade UTIL Willie Harris and LHP Ron Villone to the Rays for SS Reid Brignac and LHP Darin Downs.
Harris and Villone are 2 guys that, while helpful to contenders, are pretty useless to a young team like the Nats. Brignac might never be an All-Star, but could hit .280 with solid D. Downs has been good in High-A ball.

32 Teams in 16 Daze- Dallas Cowboys

32 Teams in 16 Daze- St. Louis Rams

(Where the fuck did all of this go?)
Offense: The Rams used to have one of the top offenses in the game. Even a few years ago it was good enough to get them into the playoffs. Marc Bulger will be the QB for probably one more year. When he has an offensive line to protect him, he is a great QB. But nobody can throw the ball from their back, unless you are Ben Roethlisberger in Vegas being ridden by some crazy woman. Anyways, Stephen Jackson is great, when he isn't injured. They still need a #1 receiver as Donnie Avery isn't a clear #1.
Defense: The Rams have a convicted murderer on their team as well as some other choice players.(Editors Note: I think Leonard Little is in for a killer season.) The defense is pretty good if you ask me, but when a defense is on the field for 40 minutes per game, they wont be that good.
Offseason: If one of your key offseason additions is Kyle Boller, you didn't have a great offseason. The one good move that they made is drafting Jason Smith. He could be the real deal.
Overall: The Rams are heading in a good direction, but they still have a ways to go. They can compete this year if the injury bug doesn't hit them like it has the last few years.
Predictions:
BS: 5-11
JS: 6-10
