Rumors on the boards suggest the Nationals are interested in Milton Bradley of the Rangers (OF). Just what the Nationals need another outfielder that may hit around 20 home runs. Signing Bradley after missing out on the Teixeira sweepstakes would sink any fan's 'Battleship'. The Nats possibly signing Bradley would be acceptable if he was the missing component towards winning a division title or championship. His signing with the Nationals would bring neither. It would only clutter the outfield with more of the same.

The only thing palatable about signing Bradley if they fail to sign any marquee players would be for the front office to hand out board games to every fan in attendance for every game Milton Bradley plays. At least it would provide the fans something to watch during the games. If the Nationals are completely locked out of signing any significant players during the offseason, it would mean more to invest the money into the community with charity work and donations to some favorite charities rather than over pay for a player that won't dramatically change the record of this team.
