Comments on: Pitcher Brian Lawrence out with injury http://www.baseballfiles.com/bodily-damage/pitcher-brian-lawrence-out-with-injury/ Mon, 8 Sep 2008 17:45:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.11 by: Sam Stevens http://www.baseballfiles.com/bodily-damage/pitcher-brian-lawrence-out-with-injury/#comment-43 Wed, 01 Mar 2006 22:42:12 +0000 http://www.baseballfiles.com/bodily-damage/pitcher-brian-lawrence-out-with-injury/#comment-43 Now there's a new idea for a reality TV show: MLB GM! Seriously, some TV dudes should go pitch Bud Selig and perhaps they could strike a deal in time for the Marlins' move to Las Vegas. Oh baby, Vegas would be the perfect city for a ball team with a reality TV-picked GM, wouldn't you say?! I hadn't seen that piece yet about Soriano being benched, but there it is on nationals.com: http://tinyurl.com/zstdo. I think you're right: there's so much uncertainty right now in the Nats' camp--who will play 2nd, who will play center, who will pitch?--that it really feels like something is about to give. Frank demands (and deserves) respect and so I was very pleased to read in that article about Soriano's respect of his new manager. He's at least starting out right in that regard.

I just read that Frank Robinson has benched Soriano for the two exhibition games before the World tournament. Something ugly is about to happen.

I sure wouldn't want Bowden's job. The Nationals aren't in a great position: they *need* Soriano's bat, or at least a replacement who can produce runs, but they also desperately need more pitching.

What do you think, Sam? I have read a couple of things in which the columnists feel that this injury almost certainly means that Soriano will be dealt for pitching. What do you think, Sam?
