I am a Washington National fan since they came to town in 2005. Nats9 comes from my favorite number,9, and no current National has the number nine so hence the name of my blog.
Joel Hanrahan is out as the closer and Garret Mock as the set up man. Bullpen by committee until further notice. I believe that Joe Beimel will make a cast for himself!
The Washington bullpen is an absolute disaster...I can't remember a worse situation in the entire past decade. That being said, Hanrahan just needs some time away from the role. He should return to the role later on in the season when Acta realizes that there is really no solid Plan B in this bullpen.
I bet they are still kicking themselves for trading Jon Rauch.
I agree the Nats wish they had Jon Rauch, but the reports I heard he is struggling with the D-Backs. The Rauch trade actually got us Olsen and Willingham.
