Washington Nationals should be always competitive enough to keep pace with the others. I really like them; they’ve always been my favourite teams in MLB. Just read about them here:

I love being called “idiot” by someone who can’t even spell “observer.” Nice!

that is awesome! braves are the dumbest in baseball…..

i know that article may not mean much for actual success on the diamond but i do believe that it is telling. especially on our part. this team is full of dumb@sses… i wish they could do a study drive. i bet the braves would be dead last in that study as well. still, pretty funny…. or pretty sad, which ever way you intend to look at it.

This is a stupid column! All it does is measure what percentage of the team roster attended college. The Braves have always had a philosophy of drafting pitchers out of high school and avoiding college pitchers due to the established risk of injuries.

The Braves made a rare exception by drafting an NC State pitcher, Joey Devine, hoping he’d make a quick transit through the farm system and help fill an immediate need in the bullpen.

The result? He suffered injuries, performed poorly, and is now on the DL with Oakland!

All that matters is baseball talent and smarts.

The Wall Street Journal article is at best a whimsical effort, at worst foolish. Once again, it appears you cherry picked some pointless article to make a dubious point.

I cannot remember the last column you wrote that I agreed had a sage point to make. Are you trying to write stuff to get criticized?
