We barely had a chance to get to know Bonifacio and his blazing speed. When he first arrived in town fans learned how much he was coveted by the scouting department within the organization and now he’s gone. There’s nothing wrong with wheeling and dealing and parlaying players for other players for an upgrade at various positions, but the Nats appear to be acquiring more players with a prior history of trouble in their past. Marlins Players. The Nats were already aware of Millidge and Dukes past, so adding Olsen who’s had a run in with his manager before should be old news, but at some time a team's young and developing players need skilled veterans and other young talent that they can look to lean on for help and advice otherwise potentially poor decisions could be made.

Now the Nats have another corner outfielder similar to the ones they already have on the roster. Another player looking to find himself that hasn’t quite delivered. The offseason shopping wish list included a top flight starting pitcher to anchor the rotation and a proven power hitter to toss into the middle of the lineup. The Nationals still need to find both and should continue searching especially to help improve and protect the rest of the rotation, bullpen, and middle of the lineup.
