DC Baseball Update

Signing shortstop Cristian Guzman and third baseman Vinny Castilla indicate that Washington GM Jim Bowden takes seriously his pledge to aggressively assemble a competitive team. Next up: An announcement to christen the team with a new name, expected to be the Nationals, is likely to come early next week, complete with the unveiling of a team logo and its red, white and blue color scheme. Deposits for season tickets will be received beginning tomorrow.

Bowden signed one guy who plays his hardest in contract years to a four-year deal, and another guy who hits well only in Coors Field to play somewhere else. Absurd.
