Sunday Sum-Up

With the Nationals and Phillies playing on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball tonight, the first game on such a venue for a game not involving a stadium opening. This game will be the final of a three game set with the Nats looking for the sweep. During this set, we have witnessed a walk-off single by catcher Wilson Ramos, and an offensive explosion sparked by Jayson Werth's three-run Werthquake. The pitching staff remains the best in the majors, while the offense is still a bit anemic with the 3-4-5 hitters on the DL with various injuries. There has been some talk of a trade needed for a centerfielder like Denard Span of the Twins, or BJ Upton of the Rays. I'm not one of those people. If any trade is to be made, it should be to bolster the injury riddled bullpen. The offense will pick as those who are injured come back. Ian Desmond has been doing pretty well as a some what unconventional lead off hitter, and Harper and Ankiel have looked very good in the outfield as CF and LF. So a trade would be a bit of an overreaction, especially when having to give up some very promising young talent.
