Supposedly the other player was Jordan Zimmermann, but I'm unable to get any confirmation on that.
I believe I would have. Would HATE to lose Storen, but for two guaranteed years of Greinke I would have. Some have suggested that guts the Nats' farm system or something, but it hardly does that.
I like Jordan Zimmermann, but its strange to me that he is untouchable. He's very promising, but he has a long way to go before he is the #2 starter the Nats seem assured that he is.
Then depending on Strasburg and others, the option is there no not re-sign Greinke in two years and get prospects back...
But I'm not upset, mainly because I'm also a Milwaukee guy...
Nats sign Rick Ankiel, which is kind of weird. Fits into what the Nats want, though, watched him last year at Nats Park display the best arm in baseball and gun somebody at the plate from not-so-shallow center.
