Wily Mo Extension

Updated 11:25 PM, 12/5/2007 - Apparently not quite yet. Enrique Rojas, you have toyed with my heart for the very last time. But Svrluga seems to believe that the extension will get done sooner rather than later.

From 9:42 PM, 12/5/2007 -
Wily Mo and the Nationals have reportedly reached an agreement for a 2yr/$7m extension, effectively buying him out of one year of free agency for $5m. Hard to argue with that, as long as he gets enough at bats to see if he'll actually work out in our outfield.

Worst case scenario is he continues to hit .260 with 25 dingers and a delicious .320 OBP, best case is that he actually hits his theorized potential. Hey, this is an outfield in which Nook Logan and Ryan Langerhans combined to have 487 at bats last year, so let's not get picky about who we trot out there just yet.
