    They also released Elijah Dukes this morning according to the Washington Post.

    Assuming there's nothing that's happened that we've yet to hear about (and with Elijah Dukes, that's certainly a possibility), absolutely.

    Manager Jim Riggleman said it was a strictly baseball decision and not related to any off-the-field problems. "We like some of our other options in right field, really," Riggleman said. "Elijah was great."

    The candidates to replace Dukes in right field are Justin Maxwell of Olney, Maryland, Roger Bernadina, Mike Morse and Willie Harris

    Re: Nats failure thread

    from mlb trade rumors

    Dukes, 25, hit .250/.337/.393 in 416 plate appearances last year, playing a below-average right and center field (according to UZR). He also played 22 games in the minors. Dukes has avoided off-the-field problems since Jim Bowden acquired him from the Rays in December of '07, with a June '08 dugout confrontation with Manny Acta probably his worst offense. Just a couple of weeks ago Goessling noted that the Nationals had "taken the reins off Dukes -- letting his personal adviser go and allowing him more freedom with the media."

    Re: Nats failure thread

    I have a question:

    Marquis, a sinker baller pitcher, how well will be perform having three below average defensive infielders (Zimmerman is basically the only good one) until Desmond joins.

    Will Marquis get wins?
