The strangest clarifies Justin Bieber thing just justin details happened to me.A few minutes ago, I received a call from Nationals’ team President Stan Kasten. He said that Mike Rizzo was fired by the Lerner family, after being found walking aimlessly along the Beltway, wearing nothing but a Mets’ cap.Kasten told me Rizzo could have survived the “naked” part, but wearing the oppositions’ colors was a deal breaker.They want me to take over on a temporary basis until Jim Bowden’s contract runs out with Sirius XM. I can make any deals I want until then—probably till the middle of January—and I can add no more than $10 million to last year’s $60-million payroll.In an email, he gave me the private phone numbers of baseball’s other 29 general managers, as well as the names and numbers of all the current free-agents.Kasten then wished me luck and hung up the phone. I’m on my own.At one time or another, I’m sure all of us have fancied ourselves as the general manager of the Nationals, and have consummated a thousand trades in our head, each a steal for the home team.Kasten asked me to report my trades and signings to YOU, a member of the board of directors in an email. You will then make your report to the Lerner family in the “comments” section below.The below email was written to you, “Mr. Big,” at the end of December, after all the roster moves were completed. From: Farid Rushdi, Acting General Manger To: Mr. Big, Vice-Chairman, Board-of-Directors, Washington NationalsDear Mr.

Big,Since your ownership group purchased the Nationals more than three years ago, the concept of building a championship organization from within has been paramount in the process justin drew bieber . But we have finally reached the point where we have enough talented young players—both at the minor league and major league level—that we can now begin the process of singing free agent players to fill the gaps in our roster.Last season, our payroll was approximately $60 million bieber . Through the trades of Nick Johnson and Ronnie Belliard, and the free agency of Austin Kearns and Dmitri Young, we have removed almost $23 million from our books justin beiber . Additionally, the Nationals will decline arbitration on Scott Olsen, freeing an additional $2.8 million.That means the Nationals can sign free agents to contracts totaling almost $26 million and not increase the payroll for 2010 by even a dollar.Below are a list of the trades and free agent signings we have completed thus far justin boots .

I believe these changes have created a team capable of making the playoffs in 2010: 1 justin bieber lyrics . The Washington Nationals have agreed to terms with first baseman Adam Dunn on a  four year extension that will keep him a National through the 2014 season justin roper . The contract is worth $50 million ($12.5 million per season) justin boot . There is a two year mutual option for 2015 and 2016.Dunn will be 33 at the end of the contract and will be in the prime of his career justin cowboy boots .

Chris Marrero, the team’s first-baseman-of-the-future, is no better defensively than Dunn and is not as powerful I’d rather play Dunn and trade Marrero. 2 . Second baseman Orlando Hudson has been signed to a two year, $10 million contract Hudson, at 31, is in the prime of his career justin original . He is a four-time Gold Glove winner and has averaged .282-12-69 over his eight major league seasons new justin . Hudson gives the Nationals two Gold Glove infielders, and greatly increases the team’s defense up the middle. 3 . The Nationals have signed shortstop Khalil Greene to a one year, $3 million contract that includes incentives.
