    Adios to our (maybe the one and) only Argentinian prospect, Senor Tanco.

    The acquisition of Marquis to the Big Club gives the orginization something else to consider – the 40-man roster is now full. Every additional player acquired will need a corresponding DFA/Outright release. With the Nationals currently at 15 position players & 25 pitchers, I’d have to think the projected SYR & HAR staffs will take some hits between now & spring training.

    The Nats are adding complimentary players, should make the team “better” in the short run, but neither Pudge, nor Marquis will be difference makers. The future will be the “young uns” and potential draftees next year.
