I thought Vinny would.

vinny should have, but Lawrence could pitch fairly decent in washington, because of the ballpark alone.although i do have some serious doubts that he will.

Well I think that getting a pitcher never hurts...Lawrence is not great or anything but you can throw him in the bullpen, spot start, trade bait whatever...

Castilla's best days are behind him. I think Wash got the best of this deal personally.

They sure did, because they have Vinny's replacement already lined up.

The move paves the way for Ryan Zimmerman, the No. 4 overall pick in June's amateur draft, to start at third for the Nationals next season.
