Tonight in Minnesota: John Lannan vs. the guy who should've been eating up innings for the Nats and enjoying the upgraded concessions at Nationals Park this year. (Ignore the 5.84 ERA, of course)
Meanwhile...
- No timetable for Nick Johnson's return (torn tendon sheath in his wrist). In other words: see you in 2009, Nick!
- Big brother vs. Little brother: Dmitri vs. Delmon.
- Detwiler: struggling just a bit...
- You'd think it would be fairly easy to come to an agreement with the 271st player picked in the draft, but sometimes that's not the case.

Let's just stick this 9th rounder on the DL till 2009 like every other Nat, sound fair?
What a great start to your career, being tough to sign as a 9th rounder (who hit .305 in JuCo FYI, not exactly a blistering average).

Fair enough. It just strikes me that a 9th rounder would be in a position to really negotiate anything...especially a kid who spent 2007 hurt. Anyway, good luck...
