Nationals sign Adam Laroche

There is not a better defensive team in baseball now.

The sad thing is the great Michael Morse will probably be traded. Twitter says 5-6 teams already interested.

since LaRoche was with the Nats last year for 154 games, and they finished 8th in MLB fielding percentage, how does resigning him suddenly make them the best?

Plus the continued maturation of Bryce Harper. And a healthy Zimmerman.

otherwise, I don't see any improvement defensively over last year..I mean, it's the same guys.

I'm beginning to wonder how much it all matters anyway..for the Nats won all the stats last year..while the Giants finished 27th in defense..
