Good news, bad news
Headline: Nats Trade Stanton ... to the Red Sox. The good news: the Red Sox need bodies in their bullpen. Bad news: concrete evidence about how dumb Frank Robinson is during games is arriving shortly.
Now, I want everyone to see why I hate the Nationals and love the Red Sox right now: his splits.
Mike Stanton should never, ever ever ever pitch to a right-handed batter. Lefties are batting .232 against him. Righties are batting .358. Yet Frank Robinson pitched Stanton JUST AS OFTEN against lefties as righties: 82 AB vs. left, 81 vs. right. Is this really that complicated?

Good numbers. Robinson's standard response to these issues -- "I manage from the gut" -- is pretty weak.
Trading Mike Stanton was brilliant. The Nats shouldn't have been planning to re-sign him anyway. And if you're not going to re-sign him, then letting him leave four days early is TOTALLY worth a couple extra arms to look at next year.
