Hanrahan may have blown leads, but he is still a solid bullpen piece who could be much better if he had any kind of defense behind him.

Lastings Milledge did nothing for the Nats, he couldn't figure out how to play center field, he blew off meetings, so good riddance. How many times did Joel Hanrahan blow a lead this year out of the bullpen? Granted, most of the Nats bullpen staff does the same, and in my humble opinion, they should all be dumped. But please, the Nats have an abundance of good young pitching and all they need is some experience in the bigs which is what Lerner/Kasten/Rizzo/Acta are doing for them. Will the trade put the Nats in the World Series? Probably not, but how long are you supposed to wait for dead wood to come alive before you move on and try something else?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3732','bsolue'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3732','bsolue','This column is a joke.
