One of the best baseball writers in the business
writes about one of the worst general managers in baseball.
The summary of the sad existence of the Washington Nationals so far, from your friend and mine at the Washington Post:
Get a new city-built ballpark; don't pay the rent. Get a coveted No. 1 draft pick; don't sign him. Promise a better team to inaugurate a new park; lose 102 games. Expect sellouts in Southeast Washington; average 12,000 empty seats. Sign slugger Adam Dunn; have a scandal explode the next week.
Seems like Mr. Bowden overpaid for a prospect who had a false name and false age. Mixed up in the intrigue is the immortal Jose Rijo as well.
Send your resumes to Stan Kasten, Washington DC.
