Should The Nats Trade Ryan Zimmerman?

[redsk1]

If you can get multiple top prospects, including a pitching prospect, i think you have to consider it. Yes, you do have to account for the fact the you have sold RZ as the "face" of the Nationals too. But, if you can get a BIG return, the Nats should listen.

No brainer on Johnson, Dunn, and even Guzman. Dunn should fetch a top prospect or two as well i would imagine. He's a liability in the field. I'd even pay some of Guzman's salary if that's what it took to get some good prospects for him.

The Nats management needs to try to stock there farm system as much as possible right now to get better 3 years from now. They'll be better off for it. They'll draw more fans. They'll win more games.

While Johnson is a no brainer, they couldn't sell Dunn if they paid a team to take him. NO one stepped up to the plate in the offseason to sign him, which leads me to believe you'll get 1 or 2 mid level draft picks for him tops. Look at the deal they made to get Soriano out of town...they got virtually nothing for him.

Once they move Johnson, they can put Dunn on 1st where he belongs and hope he doesn't let too many go. Guzman has been solid at SS, and they really have no one in the system as the heir apparent at SS. Plus I don't see any teams reaching for a SS...
