Nationals accept. Leslie DiCosimo exploded into a high-end second baseman in the last sim and made Longworth expendable. My goal from the beginning was to add depth to the sytem, primarily pitching, and this deal accomplishes that. Nash is a player I've had my eye on since his Colorado days, and Lamb is a very advanced pitcher for his age, with upside to become a very good major leaguer. With another summer of development, Williams may be able to take over a corner infielder position in 2013.
