Kudos to the Nationals on the 2-year deal they got Jason Marquis to sign yesterday. Marquis went 15-13 with a 4.04 ERA with Colorado last year, and while he’s no John Lackey, he does give the Nats a veteran arm to top the rotation in 2010 who isn’t a project or coming off a bad year. Solid move for the Nats brass.

agreed. concur. [LIKE!] Huzzah!! GO NATS!
Now to add one more veteran, innings-eating starter to a one-year deal (paging Livan Hernandez and John Smoltz. Livo and Smoltzie to the white courtesy phone, please), and a defense-first MI (preferably @ SS), and the off-season PLAN will be complete.
Another bullpen upgrade, or blockbuster team-altering trade also not out of the realm of imagination!
