Everyday Dude or Platoon Partner?

If platoon partner I rather have Skippy Barnes

He should be a platoon partner, he can’t hit RHP.

Yes, he can platoon with the guy who has a slightly worse line that is buoyed by a .341 BABIP!

A deal is not official though and if the two sides agree to a deal within the next 12 hours, it will not be announced until after Wednesday’s game.

Nats management is pretty stupid. Worst record in baseball, shitty farm system and they still haven’t traded anybody. Nick Johnson is not going to be a type B so they’re about to lose him for nothing.
