Players Of The Week

DC Sports Nexus ---- Tuesday, June 5, 2012

Here at the Nexus we decided to start up a friendly competition to see who really knows Nats.  To find out each week we are going predict a player who will have an MVP-type week and then go head-to-head.  Please leave your thoughts about how dumb we are in comments.



Dru:

I'm going with Steve "the Lambo" Lombardozzi.  He is rapidly becoming my favorite player on the team this season.  He's quick and plays solid defense, but the real reason I love him is the fact that he NEVER strikes out.  Seriously, he has 110 at bats this season and has only struck out 7 times.  That's ridiculous.  With his first major-league homer run out of the way, I think he is poised for a big week.  Playing the Met's top pitchers is going to make hits hard to come by, but I think if anyone on the team has a chance to consistently hit against them it's Lombo.  I don't see Boston being able to slow him down either in the weeks second series.

Chris:

Dru stole the Lombard Yard from me so I'm going with Tyler Clippard.  I'm not sure if I'm supposed to pick a pitcher, but I think the series with the Mets & Sox is going to be a close one.  This is a risky pick as Lidge could possibly return over the weekend.
