SBF,

Bill Ladson's mailbag today on nationals.com mentions two areas that I want to comment on and hope the Nationals brass read.

The first concerns Jamie Carroll. I hope the Nationals strongly consider adding him to the team for 2010. He never should have been dealt. He will be the team's best middle IF the moment he sets foot on the field.

The second mentions Rizzo and Kasten asking fans to be patient. After 200+ losses, I think us fans have been plenty patient. I want the team to be professional, competitive and competent in 2010, able to win 70-80 games if healthy.

I'll stick with the Nats forever, but being patient is getting old!
