Squeezed out: Nationals sell Jamey Carroll to Colorado for $300 K, freeing up one spot on the 40-man roster. Sammy Sosa announcement coming soon? Nats met with his agent today, after all...
"I'd like to thank Jamey for his long-standing and numerous contributions to the Nationals/Expos franchise...During his time here, Jamey was the ultimate teammate, whose integrity and work ethic were contagious. We wish Jamey and his family nothing but the best." (Jim Bowden, via MLB.com/Press Release 2/11/2006)

Good thing we got rid of that hack Jamey Carroll. First off, he spells his name like a girl. Beta, I think I'm bigger than he is. III, why would we want to have a fundamentally sound player? Or at least one guy on the team who can run the bases properly? Or bunt? These skills are not important in a bandbox like RFK. Four, I'd much rather have class acts like Soriano and Sosa. Cinco, we need rosters space for about 8 more outfielders, none of whom can play CF or have an OBA higher than .350.

First of all, SomeGuy, let me congratulate you on being the first person to drop a comment. A check for $5 is in the mail with your name on it. I never thought of it that way with JC - he does spell his name like a girl...
