This is a discussion on Daily Nats Blurbs within the Washington Nationals forum at Strike 3 Forums; Looks like the whole Soriano thing was overblown....
Johnson doesn't have that much pop and Guillen is a better hitter with runners in scoring position not to mention a lot more power. Johnson is a better hitter and should be hitting third. Johnson is far from a beast. Guillen should be clean up and Soriano is perfect for the fifth spot.

Pathetic Stat of the Year- Matt Cain has a 3.70 career ERA, but has won just 29 of his 95 starts.
John Patterson, troubled with right forearm tightness last time out, allowed three runs in six innings versus the Astros on Monday.
Once again, it wasn't quite what Patterson owners were hoping for. He had a 1.00 WHIP, but two of the five hits he allowed were homers off the bats off Lance Berkman and Preston Wilson. Patterson will face the Marlins in Florida on Saturday.
Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do, and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.
Felix Rodriguez getting suspended for 3 games is a sham and Guillen getting fined is beyond ****ed up while nothing happened to Pedro. Biggest injustice of April.

Tony Armas Jr. held the Mets to two runs in six innings of work on Wednesday but still was charged with his second loss of the season.
Armas gave up eight hits, but he walked just one and struck out four. He looked fine in his last outing too, yielding just two runs over five innings, so he's probably okay to use in NL-only leagues at the moment. He'll face the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park and then return home for the Braves next week.

Vidro strikes out when all you have to do is hit the ball on the ground not to a corner spot and then Guillen hits the DP ball. Piss poor execution when all they needed was a ball out of the infield. This is exactly why Guillen should be hitting cleanup and Johnson third.
