Les Carpenter, Washington Post, on the Nationals

Wilkerson was their most tradeable chip. Says the team can build on players like Ryan Zimmerman, Brian Schneider, John Patterson, and Chad Cordero. And Livon Hernandez for as long as his arm holds out. Re: the stadium & politics, 4 members of the DC city council may want to run for mayor next year. Fan enthusiasm is strong, despite all the hold-ups by MLB, trying to get the local taxpayers to pay for the stadium, lack of a good farm system, etc. The Orioles attendance or lack thereof has turned out to be a non-issue v the Nationals.
