Curtis Mead went from a DFA in March to a Burgeoning Star in July

Everyone has an opinion on Curtis Mead. The White Sox didn't have room for him on their Opening Day lineup. They DFA'd him and eventually worked out a trade with the Washington Nationals in exchange for minor league catcher Boston Smith. Right now, Mead is worth 1.8 WAR and a strong .858 OPS. The Aussie plays every position on the infield except for shortstop.

Brady House Is Ready. Is Washington?

The third base prospect is posting numbers at Double-A that demand a conversation. At some point the front office has to act on what they're seeing.

Team before self!

This year's Nationals club plays the game the right way. No drama, no pouting, no finger-pointing. Just a group of guys pulling in the same direction.

Postgamer #56: This is real right?? Nats improve to two games over .500, win another

Washington keeps rolling. Another gutsy win, another reason to believe something is actually happening here. Let's talk about it.
