Bright House Field, spring training home of the Phillies.
As far as spring training matchups go, they don't get much better than this: Stephen Strasburg vs. Roy Halladay. OK, so each right-hander might be limited to four or five innings, and neither is facing a complete, big-league lineup. Still, you take what you can get on March 6 (especially when it's snowing here in D.C.).
Strasburg should actually face a decent test today against the Phillies, who are sending several regulars to the plate, including Michael Young, Chase Utley and Ryan Howard. The Nationals ace is coming off a strong start against the Mets in which he struck out six over three innings and displayed some remarkable command of his curveball and changeup for this early stage of the spring. We'll see if his fastball command improves today in Clearwater.
Strasburg and Denard Span are the only Nats regulars who made the 3-hour trip across the state from Viera, but there's one particularly interesting twist in this lineup: Anthony Rendon is not only hitting third, he's starting at shortstop for the first time. Davey Johnson has been working with the top prospect on his footwork at second base, but this might be the first step toward seeing just how versatile Rendon can be around the infield.

- Theophilus T. S. - Mar 6, 2013 at 3:46 PM
Does Span feel insulted by having to play with the rest of this lineup? Does Halladay feel unrespected?
- SCNatsFan - Mar 6, 2013 at 3:47 PM
Why play Rendon at short? If Desi goes down then Espi moves there, and with Espi's shoulder shouldn't we be getting reps at 2B just in case?I guess this is why Rizzo hired Davey instead of me.
- Les_in_NC - Mar 6, 2013 at 3:54 PM
I just want to say how tickled I was to see Colbert get trounced by the Dominican team. A little "welcome to the show", er, WBC exhibition game.
- Noirelune - Mar 6, 2013 at 3:55 PM
Hi guys,I don't write very often because English is not my native language.So here is a question for you. My little finger whisper to me that Drew Storen could be trade to the Tigers, who really need a closer.1) Do you think Rizzo will make a move?2) If if do, which player would he want for Storen?Best from Quebec
- sjm308 - Mar 6, 2013 at 3:57 PM
SCNatsFan: I am certainly not qualified either but maybe its easier for Rendon to stay on that side of the infield at first and slowly make his way to second base. I am betting he is getting work on all 3 positions in drills and practice. The way he hits, I am sure they want to be able to move him up sooner than later. The more positions he can handle the better for right now (in my opinion). Theo: I actually love seeing lineups like this. The more I see the guys we honestly won't be seeing during the season, the better for me. It is early but I am sure Corey Brown and Marrero are really looking forward to making a statement. Skole has actually looked good in the few highlights I have seen at 3rd and I can't wait to see how Rendon handles SS. Except for catcher and SS this is pretty much the Phillies team we will see this year. Hope we can score about 1/2 the runs the Dominican's put up the other day.Go Nats!!!
- sjm308 - Mar 6, 2013 at 4:03 PM
Noirelune:No expert here but I don't think your little finger is whispering correctly. I think Storen is still young enough that Rizzo sees him as our closer in a couple years. I am not sure I trade either Clip or Storen but if the Tigers offered enough, I might gamble that Clippard might be the one to dangle out there. He has pitched a huge number of innings in the last 3 years and I just think we have plenty of depth with Mattheus, Stammen, Garcia (when healthy), and Kimball.On a non-baseball note, I can't wait to get back to your city! Great beer, history, the falls, and old town make this a wonderful trip and the people made it even more special.
- Noirelune - Mar 6, 2013 at 4:09 PM
sjm308 :Thanks for your kind words about Quebec City. You know, we still miss our Expos and that is why I cheer for my Nationals since they moved from Montreal. It won't be long before I go to DC watch the Nats and play golf in your wonderful area (even if there is actually snow)Regards
- SCNatsFan - Mar 6, 2013 at 4:16 PM
sjm, I agree about Clip, escpecially with his contract running out. While we wouldn't give him away, Detroit comes calling with a good offer and I bet Rizzo doesn't hang the phone up.
- Steady Eddie - Mar 6, 2013 at 4:22 PM
Theo — nobody's being disrespected. Everyone gets what Spring Training is about and how it works.Interesting — looking at the lineups and Nats pitchers for today, while it's doubtful that most of the Nats' AAA hitters (other than Rendon and maybe Marrero, the way he's going so far) could keep up with Doc, the Nats' pitchers will be an interesting test of how our most advanced AAA guys are doing. Other than Maya (who hasn't been terrible), Stras' relievers will be Abad, Davis, and Kimball. (Although Davis and especially Kimball will likely be facing AAA talent themselves by that late in the game.)
- Candide - Mar 6, 2013 at 4:33 PM
(New-posted from the last post.)"…mighty men of the Washington Nats" is refreshingly sexist. I get tired of hearing announcers talking about how teams have two "people" on base, or how teams have good "people" in their lineups.Men: It's not a dirty word.
- Sec. 3, My Sofa - Mar 6, 2013 at 4:37 PM
SCNatsfan, if Rendon plays second, then Lombardozzi, not Espinosa (who did not make the trip), probably plays short. Might as well give the kid a look at the other side of the bag, you never know.
- natsfan1a - Mar 6, 2013 at 4:38 PM
Not at all, and it's quite accurate in this case.

- Steady Eddie - Mar 6, 2013 at 4:52 PM
Candide @11:33 — agree with 1a, in this case, at this point, "men" is simply descriptive. (My 12 year old aspires to make it no longer descriptive, but let her first make her middle school softball team when she's eligible next year, and then her HS team after that. I would be thrilled out of my mind if her highest achievement is getting a college scholarship to play softball, especially as we'll be at retirement age when she enters college!)
- TNealls - Mar 6, 2013 at 4:57 PM
I think Span grew up in Tampa, he may have wanted to go on this trip.
- NatsLady - Mar 6, 2013 at 5:06 PM
I heard on the radio that Davey was smiling because Clip threw three curve balls for strikes! Right now, I can't see why Rizzo would trade either Clip or Storen because what do we need except prospects? Maybe Porcello, but would he be willing to go to Syracuse as the 6th starter? I would expect Rizzo holds fast to see what injuries occur. Right now the bullpen is a strength, but he just spent $28million to make it a strength, so why deal now when we don't know yet what our need might be in June or July?
- Scooter - Mar 6, 2013 at 5:13 PM
Saw Rendon play a few innings at short in Orlando. The kid looked very smooth over there. I think y'all are gonna like what you see.
- Mac Guire - Mar 6, 2013 at 5:18 PM
I think Davey is trying to give Span as many at bats as possible against division opponents so he can get familiar with what NLE pitching is like.
- blovy8 - Mar 6, 2013 at 5:28 PM
I would trade Clippard for Smyly, but I don't know why Detroit would do that.
- Candide - Mar 6, 2013 at 5:28 PM

- sjm308 - Mar 6, 2013 at 6:09 PM
NatsLady – that is exactly what I was thinking Rizzo would do is trade for two top prospects. Again, I love Clip and would not give him away. I have no idea who the Tigers top prospects are, but if they are dangled out there for a reliever, Clippard would be my choice to offer. I just think its a case of selling high and buying low. Clippard will probably never have a higher value than right now. Again, just my opinion.

Boy the ball makes a loud crack off Rendon's bat. Bad luck it got caught, but what a sound.
- peric - Mar 6, 2013 at 6:12 PM
I don't think Span should feel insulted at all? Nor should Strasburg.Tyler Moore may be the Nats best power hitter bar none. He may be the best run producer to bat behind Harper. His stats from last season relative to that category were off the chart. And it is why they were willing to let Michael Morse go and demur to Davey Johnson's preference for Adam LaRoche. They've got Moore plus, perhaps, Skole at some point. So, they are well positioned. And Skole is also in this line up.Lombardozzi is a starter in all but name. Corey Brown is major league ready … finally. And carries a big left-handed stick. Round out with Marrero, Solano, and Rivero and it still looks pretty good.All you need to do is compare the 2nd team scrubs in spring training to 2 years or more ago or even to last year!Its a pretty impressive lineup and I'm sure the Phillies will agree.

- peric - Mar 6, 2013 at 6:15 PM
"Why play Rendon at short? If Desi goes down then Espi moves there, and with Espi's shoulder shouldn't we be getting reps at 2B just in case?"Precisely WHY its shortstop. With Espy's shoulder can one rely on his ability to make it through the season? He is their best back up shortstop. After Espy who else is a good shortstop? Certainly NOT Lombardozzi. He is barely tenable at third base. Walters? Rendon may be the better fielder and certainly a major league ready bat. They want to find out if its possible to slide him into any of the three positions should the worst happen.Can you blame them?
- NatsLady - Mar 6, 2013 at 6:17 PM
The Tigers have a terrible farm system, right now. Like the Nats, they've promoted or traded a lot of their best prospects and they have not had high draft picks.30) Detroit Tigers (last year, 23): Very thin in all respects. Strengths: Nick Castellanos and Avisail Garcia could help soon, and there are some potential role players behind them. Bullpen arms. Weaknesses: lack of depth almost everywhere, particularly hitting.2013 Farm Systems Rankedhttp://www.minorleagueball.com/2013/1/28/3925786/2013-baseball-farm-system-rankings
- peric - Mar 6, 2013 at 6:22 PM
I can't see why Rizzo would trade either Clip or Storen because what do we need except prospects? Maybe for a guy like Aroldis Chapman. They still need to shore up the left-handed contingent in the minors. Both Purke and Solis are going to be rehabbing from their surgeries. And they lost Rosenbaum to rule 5. There really isn't much there outside of Mooneyham I guess. The Tigers really don't have anything they need at this point.

Stras has five strike-outs in the first two innings. Not bad!
- JD - Mar 6, 2013 at 6:38 PM
sjm, You are not getting 2 top prospects for a reliever; any reliever. I think that Nats Lady is right in that there is no reason to trade any one from the pen at this time.
- baseballswami - Mar 6, 2013 at 6:59 PM
Wagner stated on twitter that Stras was unravelling , but except for the plunking of Utley, it doesn't sound like anything was hit very hard.
- JD - Mar 6, 2013 at 7:04 PM
Swami, Who is Wagner? I wouldn't lose any sleep worrying about Stras. He'll answer the bell when the time comes.
- NatsLady - Mar 6, 2013 at 7:15 PM
Nice job by Abad, with 2 on, gets easy grounder to 1B.
- sjm308 - Mar 6, 2013 at 7:17 PM
Agreed JD, that Clip or any other reliever would bring that high a bounty. I was just responding to a question on here about whether the nationals would be interested if the Tigers came calling. I had no idea their system was so weak and its the only thing I think Rizzo would want/need at this point is to stock up his minor league system.
- tayo - Mar 6, 2013 at 7:18 PM
Really hate when Umpires get Lazy and don't call obvious strikes just because the catcher doesn't catch the ball.
- sjm308 - Mar 6, 2013 at 7:19 PM
Wagner is one of the two Post beat writers and does a pretty good job. I also think if you allow 3 singles and hit a batter its probably fair to say the pitcher is having a rough go. Hit hard or not its 2-0 phillies.
- Teddy Rochlis - Mar 6, 2013 at 7:23 PM
You guys are forgetting the possibility of a 3 way trade, we can always get farm if a team is desperate for porcello, it does not have to just be us and the tigers
- natsfan1a - Mar 6, 2013 at 7:23 PM
Besides, plunking Utley is a tradition. SS is probably just going all Old School and Prestigious on him.
- baseballswami - Mar 6, 2013 at 7:24 PM
Definitely not Stras' best outing but plenty of time until opening day. Mostly singles, I think. First two innings were solid. He will be ready . Every batter, every inning , you can almost feel him making mental notes and learning. Intense guy.
- NatsLady - Mar 6, 2013 at 7:24 PM
Anyway, I don't think you ever trade Clip. Fireballers come and go, but Clip has his eye on a career like Mariano's. Or, if he can improve his efficiency (curve ball?), starting again.
- NatsLady - Mar 6, 2013 at 7:26 PM
Stras did not look happy in the dugout. No one comes near him when he's in THAT mood! Not even to remind him it doesn't count…
- sjm308 - Mar 6, 2013 at 7:35 PM
NL – I don't have the ability to watch and have to rely on the Post live updates which are probably way late. What did the broadcasters say about Halladay throwing behind Tyler Moore? Retaliation in Spring Training??
- baseballswami - Mar 6, 2013 at 7:52 PM
I am using game day , which is often behind and sometimes mixed up, but it's free. So that Rendon kid can hit, no?
- NatsLady - Mar 6, 2013 at 7:59 PM
He can hit but he just made an error when he took his eye off the ball in a simple grounder. Didn't hear anything about retaliation, sjm, but I wasn't watching every pitch in the early innings.
- baseballswami - Mar 6, 2013 at 8:05 PM
So on the replay of the home run you can hear the Fooly announcers saying it wasn't hit all that hard, just got up into a wind current. Sure…..
- Gonat - Mar 6, 2013 at 8:09 PM
Even Rendon's outs are hard hit. Have to like that HR to show the Phillies how deep the Nats are!

- JD - Mar 6, 2013 at 8:19 PM
Swami, I just saw a replay. It was hit pretty well. There is no doubt the kid can hit he just needs to stay healthy. I don't think it's a great idea to move him all over the place just yet. At the end of the day something will have to give because Rendon won't be a utility infielder playing all infield positions. I still think that Peric's scenario is the most realistic in the long run if there is no trade involved.
- JD - Mar 6, 2013 at 8:25 PM
Kimball and Abad took a couple of steps backwards in the race for the final bullpen spot.
- NatsLady - Mar 6, 2013 at 8:39 PM
JD, yes, Abad did not pitch well against the major-league lefties.
- Gonat - Mar 6, 2013 at 8:40 PM

- Ghost Of Steve M. - Mar 6, 2013 at 8:47 PM
NatsLady said… JD, yes, Abad did not pitch well against the major-league lefties. There are some people still thinking about trading a reliever like Clippard to a conender like the Tigers.You can't think like it's 2008 and the Nats will trade for prospects. If anything, I think Rizzo is looking for another reliever and another starter.The #6 starter is still a weakness and now with a few injuries, the depth in the bullpen isn't where we thought it would be.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Mar 6, 2013 at 8:49 PM
Another thought on relievers and how some of the analysts view them that JimBo thinks Rizzo had a great off-season especially with the signing of Rafy Soriano. JimBo commented that Rafael Soriano may be the player that tips the World Series in the Nats favor over the Tigers!
- NatsLady - Mar 6, 2013 at 8:54 PM
You know, they are not allowed to use smokeless tobacco in the minors. Cutter Dykstra has a huge "chaw," taking advantage of being in a major-league game, for sure.

- Doc - Mar 6, 2013 at 9:06 PM
Couple of observations of recent games, DEspi is collecting lots of hits from the Left Side, and has the average to go with it.Also, EDavis should be in the conversation for the BP, if he isn't already.Rendon is already a ML hitter. Abad was Thatbad today–3 LH batters, and 3 hits!

- Steady Eddie - Mar 6, 2013 at 9:45 PM
JD — Davey isn't moving Rendon around to make him a utility/bench guy to fill in a couple of innings here and there. He's doing it because Rendon needs to be a regular wherever he plays, and Davey — and Rizzo — wants to be ready to get him in the lineup should a gaping hole unexpectedly open up. Otherwise he's likely staying in Syracuse for a while.But I also would give decent odds that peric's scenario — of Espi's shoulder giving out by his throwing himself around the field — may happen sooner than later. And if that happens, you want Rendon's bat in the lineup rather than Lombo's. Plus you would then need Rendon up with the big team to be able to give Desi and Zim a rest at times, which you don't want Lombo to be doing (his glove is OK but his arm is not at those positions).
- natsfan1a - Mar 6, 2013 at 9:50 PM

IDK, if I were TyMo I'd be flattered. Strasburg hit Utley, so Halladay wants to reciprocate, but who can he hit? None of the regulars made the trip except Strasburg, who isn't batting, and Span, who just got here and thus is not the guy you go after. Really, it's between Lombo and Moore.
- natsfan1a - Mar 6, 2013 at 9:57 PM
Corrected version (I *really* need some baseball to watch).My point was that there was no mention of a meal in the post to which you linked, so it does not (to me) follow that RZ just wanted RK treats as his meal, as you stated. Rather, she may have meant that she was equipped to make him a gourmet dessert, but he preferred RK treats. Again, I think we need to see a baseball game so we won't be reduced to reading the tea leaves (or marshmallows).
- JD - Mar 6, 2013 at 10:02 PM
Steady, My point about Rendon and it's just my opinion is that he still needs to go down to Harrisburg and conquer that level while staying healthy. Unlike other posters I am not yet sold on the idea that he's 100% ready for the majors; he may be or he may not be and I don't think an AFL season and 25 at bats in early spring training prove anything conclusively. Using that line of thinking it seems to me that he'd be better of playing his best position every day. Having said all of that I, like the others agree that Anthony Rendon is a top flight grade A prospect.
- Gonat - Mar 6, 2013 at 10:07 PM
What's all this stuff talking about Rendon staying healthy. He's healthy now and that's all you can ask for. Rizzo wants him to get reps meaning regular reps and that means AA. There's no place for Rendon to play every day right now for the Nats.Espi is the starting 2nd baseman for the Nats, Desi is the starting SS for the Nats, and Ryan Z is the starting 3rd baseman for the Nats.
- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 6, 2013 at 10:07 PM
Why is everyone over looking Zach Duke as the 6th starter? He's basically John Lannan with a little more talent AND able to pitch out of the bull pen.
- Gonat - Mar 6, 2013 at 10:12 PM
NatsJack, not sure if you looked the last time Zach Duke was a starter in Arizona in 2011. His ERA was 5.47 and his WHIP was 1.628 and he was shoved in the bullpen.A little more talent than Lannan? I don't think so.
- NatsLady - Mar 6, 2013 at 10:16 PM
Did you know this– in 2012 Nats pinch hitters had the highest average in MLB (.288)? That is a tremendous advantage, especially in NL games.
- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 6, 2013 at 10:20 PM
Gonat….Zach has altered his deliver so that his mechanics are repeatable and is much improved over his 2010 and 2011 efforts.While he is ticketed as the lefty long man, I'm pretty sure Davey and McCatty would have no problem plugging him in for a spot start or two.The Nats still need to sign a veteran starter for Syracuse if Young doesn't work out.
- NatsLady - Mar 6, 2013 at 10:24 PM
NJ, I'm not—I was thinking exactly that yesterday. He's been going multiple innings and hasn't given up a run. Gonat, as was pointed out, almost exactly a year ago Houston, the worst team in MLB, released Duke, and look where he is now. Things change, guys mature. Yes, he could be "only" Gorzelanny, that could be his ceiling. We just don't know yet. It would depend on his effieciency and whether he can have three working pitches. But I would say, it depends more on how long we need the "6th starter." If it's a season-ending injury, then Rizzo will probably go outside the organization–who knows, if it's June 15 and Lohse is still out there–/ If it's a 15-day DL stint, look for some combination of Duke/Stammen/Perry etc. with no one expected to go more than 5 innings.
- MurrayTheRed - Mar 6, 2013 at 10:24 PM
Sorry I had to work and couldn't watch the game – where exactly did SS hit Utley?
- Gonat - Mar 6, 2013 at 10:25 PM
NatsJack, I'm still thinking no other teams were knocking down Zach's door for a starters job so here he is. Can he be better than Lannan, I hope he can be because he may very well be the de facto 6th starter.
- Gonat - Mar 6, 2013 at 10:28 PM
NatsLady, you said that very eloquently on the Gorzo meter!
- JD - Mar 6, 2013 at 10:33 PM
NatsJack, I think Duke would be fine but I think he's penciled in to the Gorzo role and that will be valuable to the point where using him to start might upset the entire bullpen set up. I too am concerned that if we lose a starter for a significant period there would be a big drop off (to Maya?). I think Young is a reasonable alternative if he agrees to pitch in Syracuse and I think we also got Ohlendorf; right? You won't get someone like Lohse to be a no. 6 so really it's just a question of depth.

"There's no place for Rendon to play every day right now for the Nats.Espi is the starting 2nd baseman for the Nats, Desi is the starting SS for the Nats, and Ryan Z is the starting 3rd baseman for the Nats."Then they need to make a place for him. He is not only the best hitter on the entire team, he is also the best power hitter they've got. I mean, the guy has hit 4 balls out of the park in 20 ABs, one of which was snagged by the Mets CFer when he was able to go up and over the left center field fence to bring that one back into the park. That's 1 HR in every 5 ABs, folks. Of course, he can't keep that up, but no one else on the entire team makes contact like Anthony Rendon, nor does it as often as he. And they are going to send him back down? He can learn to play 2nd base up here as easily as down there, and is less likely to get hurt playing on the immaculate IF of Nats' Park than in the relatively primitive conditions down there. Danny still has an option. Since when is a spot on a major league roster a matter of entitlement, rather than merit? That kid Rendon is the best hitter they've got. Tell me who's better.And it was only last year that "John's my guy" Lannan was sent down to make way for a better pitcher. Rendon should be in the opening day lineup unless they can find someone who's better by the end of ST. They won't. And if they don't, then the best man should stay, and someone else should go down and get the reps to learn to be the IF utility guy.
- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 6, 2013 at 11:22 PM
Rendon will be in the opening day line up. He'll be starting in Harrisburg where he was last seen hitting about .225.
- peric - Mar 6, 2013 at 11:26 PM
The only problem Laddie Blah Blah is …Rendon is going to play third base …Have you seen Ryan Zimmerman playing at third base yet this spring? How many years how many injuries? And last I looked Rendon was younger than Zim?There's a reason why LaRoche has a 2 year contract and it has nothing to do with T-Mo and Skole and everything to do with Zim moving across the diamond. Danny isn't moving and neither is Desmond.Two years ago you were ready to option Desmond to the minors. Rizzo wants the best fielding most athletic infield in baseball. Once Rendon moves to third and Zim to first they've got it.
- baseballswami - Mar 6, 2013 at 11:32 PM
I think Rendon has talent but the sample size is still small. Tyler Moore had the best rate of home runs per at bat last season but that might not hold over time. Rendon needs a full season at some minor league level where he has to face decent pitchers who will see him over and over. Unrelated, but the Yankees are breaking down . I think it's silly to blame the WBC if a guy strains his wrist practicing. Wouldn't that have happened in Arizona or New York ? I mean, maybe they are all breaking because the are getting old.
- tayo - Mar 6, 2013 at 11:46 PM
All this debate about Zimmerman possible moving to 1st. I guess he will be great defensively there and would put up good numbers, but will he be able to put up power numbers like an elite first basemen can?
- Candide - Mar 7, 2013 at 12:02 AM
baseballswami said… I think Rendon has talent but the sample size is still small…Rendon needs a full season at some minor league level where he has to face decent pitchers who will see him over and over.Swami,I think you can find almost exactly those words posted here a year ago; just substitute the name "Harper" for "Rendon."If he has 10 HR and OPS of 1.200 at the end of March, what do you send him down for? To work on his grammar?
- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 7, 2013 at 12:10 AM
Rendon will be in minor league camp by the middle of next week where he can get at bats and infield reps everday till Harrisburgs opening day.
- UnkyD - Mar 7, 2013 at 12:19 AM
"If he has 10 HR and OPS of 1.200 at the end of March, what do you send him down for? To work on his grammar"————————Hehehe…. Good one, Candide!I think if Rendon continues like this at Harrisburg/Syracuse, the only way he doesn't come up, is if the IF collectively is tearing it up…. Win/win!!!
- baseballswami - Mar 7, 2013 at 12:27 AM
I don't see Rendon as being a rare talent like Harper, although I do think he will be a very good player. If he tears it up in the minors and we end up needing him, then he will certainly be brought up.
- Gonat - Mar 7, 2013 at 12:29 AM
If Espi is doing his job, then there is nowhere for Rendon until September.As they say, that's a big IF.
- Gonat - Mar 7, 2013 at 12:31 AM
baseballswami, Harper wasn't exactly lighting it up in the Minors and Davey and Rizzo knew what they had and the same goes with Rendon.
- baseballswami - Mar 7, 2013 at 12:37 AM
I think they are smart enough to see process, not just results. The main factor with Harper was not his performance, it was the Nats' need of him because of injuries. If not for the DL, Harper and Moore stay down. That is not a predictable factor. We don 't need him here, he stays where he is.
- Laddie Blah Blah - Mar 7, 2013 at 12:51 AM
"He'll be starting in Harrisburg where he was last seen hitting about .225."He was last seen hitting .400 this afternoon. Before that, he was seen tearing up the AFL last fall. If you want to go even further back, he hit 28 HRs his freshman year at Rice, while striking out only 19 times over the season.You can cherry pick any number you want to from the past. The kid is the best hitter in ST, bar none, right now.
- baseballswami - Mar 7, 2013 at 12:55 AM
Being the best hitter in spring training is a dubious distinction. He is trying to prove himself and get noticed. Most of the guys are trying to get ready for the regular season without getting hurt. It's fun to watch the young, talented, hungry ones. He is making the impression he wants to make. I am sure that it is being duly noted.
- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 7, 2013 at 1:02 AM
Spring training numbers do not mean anything. Tell me who led the Nats in avg., obp, home runs, rbi's or any other category last year in Spring Training and I'll tell you a big "whoop".Tell me how they did in their respective assigned regular season stats and I'll listen.
- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 7, 2013 at 1:03 AM
And no…. he's not the best hitter in camp. The squaring up everything is Bryce.
- NatsLady - Mar 7, 2013 at 1:04 AM
Yes, the "penalty" for signing Lohse goes away with the Rule 4 (amateur) draft at the beginning of June.
- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 7, 2013 at 1:04 AM
The guy
- baseballswami - Mar 7, 2013 at 1:10 AM
In spring training I am pretty sure they are supposed to be tracking pitches, seeing a lot of pitches, working on their approach. It doesn't always show in the box score but will affect readiness for the season. Harper does appear to be locked in. He has also had a lot if at bats.
- Laddie Blah Blah - Mar 7, 2013 at 1:11 AM
"I don't see Rendon as being a rare talent like Harper, although I do think he will be a very good player."We agree to disagree. They are both phenomenal talents, but in very different ways. Harper works his game, is constantly tweaking his approach and adjusting his swing mechanics. I don't think you will ever see Rendon changing his approach or his swing. He doesn't have to. The kid is a natural. There is no one else on the team who can do what Rendon does so effortlessly and so effectively.I broke down his swing last fall, and I don't want to repeat that lengthy exercise, again. Suffice to say, whenever you see Rendon square up a baseball with that swing, count yourself privileged to have just borne witness to an extraordinary feat of baseball athleticism. No one else on the Nats has that swing, and few, if any, have the physical talent to execute it, even if they wanted to.He has the kind of swing mechanics that endure over a long career, like Hank Aaron's, because he and Aaron are/were among the few who could execute it consistently. One of these days FP will get Rendon on some super slo mo and go over his swing mechanics. His are different from those of anyone else on the Nats. FP probably knows about some other players who could pull it off, besides Aaron and Anthony. Ain't many.The kind of talent Rendon has is very rare. Harper is a thinking man's player, whose head is always in the game. He changes bats, he changes his stance, he dials up his swing, or dials it down, he uses a full body torque or he uses his hands, instead, he uses a leg kick one time, and a toe tap another time, and on and on and on, until he finds something that works for him. That is part of why he will be a great player. But Rendon's hitting is instinctive. The WaPo asked him about his swing a couple of days ago, and Rendon could not really explain it in a coherent way. That's just as well. He's better off just going up there and doing what comes naturally to him, and to no one else on the Nats' team.
- Laddie Blah Blah - Mar 7, 2013 at 1:15 AM
"Spring training numbers do not mean anything."Tell that to John Lannan. He may have a different take, based on what happened to him in ST last year.
- Laddie Blah Blah - Mar 7, 2013 at 1:17 AM
"And no…. he's not the best hitter in camp. The squaring up everything is Bryce."Harper has squared up one HR, and Rendon has knocked 4 out of the park. Facts, NatsJack, facts.
- Laddie Blah Blah - Mar 7, 2013 at 1:21 AM
"Being the best hitter in spring training is a dubious distinction."To whom? I suspect Davey and Rizzo do not detect anything dubious about it.
- Laddie Blah Blah - Mar 7, 2013 at 1:27 AM
"Rendon is going to play third base …Have you seen Ryan Zimmerman playing at third base yet this spring? How many years how many injuries? And last I looked Rendon was younger than Zim?"That could be, but not until ALR is an ex-Nat. Ironic that it is Rendon who is healthy and Ryan (Espinosa, too) who has questions about his health coming into camp. It is certainly possible they are worried enough about Ryan to keep playing Rendon at 3rd and SS, for now. If Ryan has to sit, I think I know who will the everyday guy at 3rd until RZ is ready to come back.
- baseballswami - Mar 7, 2013 at 1:47 AM
Ok, ok, no one is saying Rendon isn't good! He probably will be. Just a bit early to elect him to the hall of fame. We'll see. We all win if you are right. We will get a superstar and you will get to say you were right.
- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 7, 2013 at 1:55 AM
Hitting home runs against A level pitching and squaring up everything thrown at you are 2 different things. The difference between actually seeing each at bat and reading stats is why professionals employ scouts.
- Gonat - Mar 7, 2013 at 1:57 AM
Spring Training is a try-out for those like Rendon but he is trying out for a spot that is only hypothetical at this point because it doesn't exist in Washington right now.The starting infielders are RZim, Desi, Espi and LaRoche.Also keep in mind that Morse was on the DL to start the 2012 season and Rizzo still waited for the Super 2 cut-off on April 28th to call up Bryce.Let's just say Espi wasn't ready to go on April 1st, I still don't see Rendon taking his spot because of the Super 2 and the fact he hasn't taken game reps at 2nd.
- Candide - Mar 7, 2013 at 2:00 AM
What about the Davey factor? He has a long history of bringing up talent before anyone else thought they were ready. Mightn't he decide that Rendon is ready, and that he's going to find a place for talent, no matter what?
- baseballswami - Mar 7, 2013 at 2:06 AM
If there are lots of injuries ( making anti- curse gestures right now), Davey could. What happens with Rendon from this moment on is absolutely not predictable. Depends on how he does and tons of other variables. Bryce was at the middle of a very imperfect storm. We will have to watch and see how it plays out.
- Gonat - Mar 7, 2013 at 2:06 AM
Candide, yes, and it will only happen after April 28th because of Super 2 and it will only happen if he can start.Read between the lines, it means an injury or Espi just falling apart.Rizzo would much rather wait until after the June deadline so Rendon doesn't qualify for 4 years of arbitration, but he won't hestitate if there is a real need like calling up Harper extra early last year, but again they waited until April 28th.Rendon could really benefit from a few months in AA. I know some don't want to hear that but he does need to get those reps at 2nd, SS, and 3rd.
- Gonat - Mar 7, 2013 at 2:20 AM
I think Davey was more impressed by Rendon's 1st AB vs. Halladay which was a roped liner that was caught than the HR against Durbin that did catch some air.
- baseballswami - Mar 7, 2013 at 2:24 AM

Now that I am watching Strasburg's second inning- no big deal. Infield hit, bunt, weak contact. He hit Utley. Nothing hit hard, nothing out of the infield. His breaking stuff was bugs- bunny stuff.
- SCNatsFan - Mar 6, 2013 at 11:33 PM
Zim plays 3B until he doesn't want to. If Rendon squeezes into this lineup as a starter it won't be at the hot corner.
- Scooter - Mar 7, 2013 at 5:04 AM
I just watched a bunch of the game. As the guy who said y'all would like Rendon at short, let me just say, "Oops."Bad day. It happens.

Laddie….you must be related to Rendon. Good God man, the kid hasn't done doodily squat when its counted. Whats that old saying "Hit .250, then pop off!"Take a deep breath
- Doc - Mar 7, 2013 at 3:04 PM
Well Big Cat you're right, our boy Rendon has a ways to go.But he'll get there, if he stays healthy. If there was room, and a need, Davey'd have him on the 25 man as we speak. On most ML teams he'd be on his way to opening day in The Show in 3 weeks.But yeah, he's the next 3,000 hit player in the making. Small hitch/loop in his swing, but one batter's hitch is another batter's timing mechanism.
- BigCat - Mar 7, 2013 at 3:26 PM
3000 hits? Come on man. And Laddie….yes….20+ dingers as a freshman at Rice. Of course, when they got the trampoline metal bat out of his hands, he had 6 as a senior. Just sayin.Look, no one is saying the kid doesn't have potential. I hope he is a great player, cause that will make the Nats better. But lets just put him down in Harrisburg and see how he does.
- Daylos - Mar 7, 2013 at 4:42 PM
Not exactly sure I'd start comparing Rendon to Aaron quite yet either…
- Scooter - Mar 7, 2013 at 6:14 PM
Crap! And now I found out this morning that Rendon didn't make that error. So, I guess he was okay after all. I have to put this here now, just so I'm not slandering anyone.
- natsfan1a - Mar 7, 2013 at 8:33 PM
Duly noted, Scooter. You're a good egg.
- realdealnats - Mar 7, 2013 at 10:43 PM
I'm in the Rendon Camp with Laddie and Candide, though I expect we will not see him until after April 28th. Maybe even the June deadline. I like he'll get the reps, but don't like him on questionable fields. And if they decide to really move him up the ladder literally, I don't like him playing in Syracuse where it is cold. I think that might be one reason Bryce only hit in the 250s there.What I do hope to see is Rendon coming up after the June deadline and basically taking over Lombo's role. I think Rendon will even surpass Moore and Tracy for coming off the bench to PH cold. He could be devastating in that role on days he is not starting as he gives Zimm or Desi or Espi a rest.This is one of those long term deals you cheat at–b/c this is the first real year of the window for winning it all. And if you win this year you might just win a couple more. But if you don't the pressure starts. And he can help in too many ways. And he can learn what he needs to learn around major league talent and Davey.

How to Season a Wooden Salad Bowl
Wood salad bowls need to be seasoned to prevent drying and cracking. This is particularly important for serving bowls that are unfinished. If your bowl is properly cared for and cleaned, the seasoned flavor and fragrance of garlic and herbs will be preserved. Proper maintenance will result in a well-seasoned serving bowl, which will become more aromatic with age.

BRATTLEBORO, Vt. — The Strolling of the Heifers has put together its second annual Locavore index, which rates the 50 states and the District of Columbia on how strong their local food systems are, and Vermont has once again come out on top.
Rounding out the top five states for locavorism, according to the index, are Maine, New Hampshire, North Dakota and Iowa, while the bottom five are Texas, which came in last, followed by Florida, Louisiana, Arizona and Nevada.
The Vermont-based local food advocacy group's index uses census and U.S. Department of Agriculture data, along with a per capita comparison of farmers' markets, consumer supported agriculture operations (CSAs) and food hubs in ranking the states.
Vermont outperformed the second state on the list, Maine, by more than two-to-one in its overall score per 100,000 residents. Vermont has 94 farmers' markets and 139 CSAs to serve its approximately 626,000 residents.
The state is also a leader in developing food hubs, which are facilities that handle the aggregation, distribution and marketing of foods from a group of farms and food producers. There are 12 food hubs in Vermont. Food hubs are relatively new, and the index weighted the scoring with farmers' markets and CSAs each accounting for 45 percent of the states' ranking and food hubs making up the other 10 percent.
Strolling of the Heifers Executive Director Orly Munzing said the index was not done to point out the shortcomings in the states at the bottom of the list, but rather to encourage more collaboration between states and to get the lower performing states to talk about how they can better support their regional and local food systems.
"There are so many ways to do that," said Munzing. "Not just with farmers' markets and CSAs, but by supporting farm-to-school programs, urging local hospitals and nursing homes to purchase local foods, asking supermarkets to buy from local farms, and, of course, celebrating and honoring our farmers whenever we can."
Vermont Secretary of Agriculture Chuck Ross said Vermont has become a national model for bringing together farmers, educators, hospital administrators, entrepreneurs and government to build a strong support system for growing, distributing and consuming local food.
"People are coming here from around the country to see how we are doing it," Ross said Thursday at the Farm to School Conference in Brattleboro. "Collaboration is foundational to our ability to build programs. This kind of community based support builds the kind of communities we want to live in."
Four years ago, when Vermont's first Farm to School Conference was held, about 30 people showed up to talk about ways to bring more locally-grown food into the school system. Since then the number of schools across Vermont with school gardens has grown to about 55 percent.
Schools, as well as hospitals and nursing homes, are making a greater effort to highlight locally-sourced food products. And ever-growing food hubs from Brattleboro to Burlington, Vt., are working to make it easier for farmers, consumers and institutions to connect.
When this year's Farm to School Conference was held Thursday, registration had to be cut off at about 130, with local food enthusiasts from Massachusetts and New Hampshire traveling to Brattleboro to see how Vermont has been able to grow its local food system one beet at a time.
Ross said one of the planet's most pressing challenges will be to find a way to feed the 9 billion people who are expected to populate the earth by 2050.
Vermont's ability to connect teachers, students, farmers, food buyers, consumers and administrators has created a sustainable and proven system that can be replicated across the globe to better meet that demand.
"I want to underscore this work and what it means to the future of this state, this country and the world," Ross said. "I think we can change the world from our little state."
Katherine Gillespie, who helped organize the Farm to School Conference, said the growth and support in Vermont has been coming from both outside and inside the system.
Parents are demanding more healthy and locally-sourced meals, teachers want to know how they can bring more lessons into the classroom, and state departments are getting on board.
Gillespie said the Agency of Agriculture, along with the Agency of Education, the Department of Health and the Agency of Commerce and Community Development all have a role to play in developing a strong local food system.
"We are able to look at the whole issue in a more systemic way, and it is easier to get funding to make sure the changes we are making will be for the long term," Gillespie said. "It means we can make connections. We are able to ramp up faster and the progress we make goes deeper and is sustainable."
Vermont's neighbor New Hampshire jumped up 10 places in this year's index, moving from 13th place last year to third in the 2013 index.
New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, Markets and Food Communications Director Maureen Duffy, said she has seen a growing interest from consumers who want to know where their food is coming from. That demand is bringing more dollars to the farms, she said, as farmers work to provide vegetables and fruit, along with meat and dairy, to satisfy that market.
Duffy also said the Agriculture Department is providing support by printing maps of farms, encouraging more farmers' markets and supporting entrepreneurs who want to grow the agriculture sector of the economy.
"There has been a real increase in the last few years with the local food movement," said Duffy. "There is a real demand out there and farmers are trying to meet it. It's wonderful to see."
Here is how the index ranks the 50 states and District of Columbia from best to worst for 2013:

2. Maine
3. New Hampshire

Is this what the G45/GM45 series would use?
Phoronix: A New Intel i965 Gallium3D Driver Is Coming
While we are not sure yet what Intel's special Poulsbo driver means yet, we do have some firm information to report this weekend on another new Intel driver: a new Intel i965 driver for Gallium3D is coming. Keith Whitwell of VMware (formerly Tungsten Graphics) has been hacking away at a new i955 driver for this extremely promising graphics driver architecture. While the open-source ATI/AMD developers have been hard at work on Gallium3D support and the Nouveau developers are solely focusing on Gallium3D for their OpenGL support, the official Intel developers haven't dabbled too much with Gallium3D...
Is this what the G45/GM45 series would use?
sweet, gallium seems like a really cool architecture. But I have to say, I already get pretty good 3d performance out of the most recent intel drivers on my gm45, sometimes it's even better than windows. Still quite glitchy at times, though.
Is this intended to replace or improve on the current driver codebase, or just for fun?
How long of a timeframe will it take?
When you compare Quake Live then Win is still faster on Q45.
That could be due to game implementation details; I'd only buy your line there Kano, if you could prove that it was as fast or faster on the proprietary drivers and the FOSS Radeon support on G200 and G300/400/500.
(Not that I don't think you're right- I just don't have any basis as I've not measured and I've not seen anyone else do it either... )
If it's slower on most or all GPUs, then there's something with the game itself. If it's only slower on a few GPUs, then it's definitely driver issues.
We will be posting some information when we can. Right now there is not much more to say than it is will be the 3rd generation Bad Axe using the X38 Bearlake chipset and will support ATI/AMD Crossfire.

Overview Video What does this mean?
With an understated, refined appearance, instant comfort and playability, and a voice that is familiar and captivating, the vintage-inspired S2 Mira is a guitar you won't want to put down.
Its all-mahogany body and asymmetrical, beveled top give the S2 Mira much of its explosive tone. And while not a super high output guitar, the S2 Mira can be overdriven into well-rounded, organic rock tones without sacrificing the punch or clarity found in higher-output guitars (or even active pickups). The bridge pickup is rich with some sparkle and substantial but tight low end, while the neck pickup is a little darker providing great balance and vintage tones.

Complete Willies Diary
360°: 2011
360°: 2010
360°: 2009
Vertigo: 2005/06
Again, Day off, Honolulu.
Our JAL charter plane landed in Honolulu at 6.30am with its passengers mostly resembling a dogs breakfast. It was sunny and warm, though having only had a couple of hours sleep by the time I got to the hotel I was feeling more sick and stunned than anything. 8am and its still Tuesday. The hotel is OK, if abject luxury in a tropical paradise is your kind of thing. I had a bit of breakfast and went for a stroll. It was a tad surreal as the place appears to be some kind of retirement village. Not very rock, it has to be said. I ran into others wandering, equally stunned - Gerry, Sharon, Jack and we gravitated toward the beach front cafe, in a gathering of the damaged. We sat and talked rubbish for some time, then I finally gave up at about 3pm and went to my bed.
Waking up at about 8pm in the pitch dark was deeply confusing. I staggered up and managed a cup of tea and second breakfast of the day, trying to get a handle on the fact that its still Tuesday. Headed over to Bruces hotel which, in sharp contrast to ours, is a massive resort which was just jumping. Bands playing, lots of holiday makers and troops in uniform - it was all a bit full on. Trying to find somewhere quiet and semi-normal for dinner was a challenge, but we eventually had some kind of success. It was all going well until the waiter (who I think liked us) produced a huge, spontaneous, unordered, bizarre, dry-ice-spewing , chocolate desert. He placed in centre table then retired, leaving Bruce and I to gradually be enveloped by waves of dry ice, flowing over the table and off all sides down onto the floor. I know we are jet lagged all over again, but even so, it really didnt seem like a normal situation to me.
Having survived the surrealist chocolate experience, we took a stroll on the deserted beach to calm ourselves. I even had a paddle in the pacific. What a mad life, suddenly finding yourself on a pacific island in the middle of the night. And its still Tuesday.

I was planning on resurrecting the tour diary today, being the day we were scheduled to fly to Auckland for the load-in tomorrow. However, its now old news that the remainder of the tour dates have been postponed, so Im not going anywhere further than the corner cafe. Its been a very weird week indeed - much akin to driving into a wall.

This year my husband and I received an amazing gift from Mother Nature. Christmas morning we woke up to the most enchanting snowfall ever. It was a true Norman Rockwell scene if I had ever saw one. The sky was white, the land was white, the trees where white, the deck was white… everything was blanked in snow. And it was still coming down in large, fat, lazy flakes. We had our morning snuggle, sipping our coffees as we enjoyed the beauty of the Christmas tree and the sounds of soft Christmas music. We sat there all snuggled up, watching the snow build a wall on our deck railing, layer by layer by layer. Obviously it was perfect day for… snowshoeing. The only thing was neither one of us had ever tried it before. Shame on me… 28 years in Alaska should have given me some experience, but no.
Don't get me wrong though, we tried. One year in Alaska, Bob and I decided it was high time to take up some winter sports. We were tired of sitting inside, watching the moose play in the snow… we wanted to play as well! Bob had owned a pair of snow shoes from the past so we went on the hunt for a pair for me. Craigslist! We found an amazing pair of racing snowshoes of all things. So, we met the seller at a cafe and did the exchange in the parking lot and then made our way home. The sky was already turning dark at 3:00 pm so we decided to wait till the following day to start our adventures.
The next day we woke up to a bone chilling, unfit-for-human-survival temperature of -30 (F)! Uff-da! It was far to cold to go "play" in the snow. With our heads hung low we decided to wait for the next day. Day after day… -30 (F) weather enveloped our house, even causing the structure to moan and shiver. The days passed, the weeks passed, finally after two weeks of such cold weather, it broke! We had been watching the news and we were delighted to see that the temperatures where going to let up and we would soon be out snowshoeing! The next day, it started to snow (wheee), then it turned in to rain (doh!) and the temperature warmed up to near 40 degrees (whoa!!!) Now the rain kept us in the house. The following morning I ran to the front picture window, like a child scurrying to see if there were reindeer on the roof, the burning question… Can we go snowshoeing today? I looked out the window and believe it or not…. ALL the snow had melted!! From tons of snow, to 30 below, to 40 above, to snow, to rain, and then to nothing! All in 16 days. lol Needless to say we never got to go snowshoeing that year. That is until yesterday and it was wonderful! In the midst of our pear orchard we found a new discovery… this is that gift that I spoke of earlier… we found one apple tree. Not a leaf to be found yet it was loaded with at least 100 apples. Apples that were as crisp, and sweet as can be and so juicy! Though we still don't have any idea as to what kind they are. What a blessing! We picked roughly 30 lbs of apples. And this little discovery is what prompted this post on dehydrating apples.
End result of Round 1 of dried apples.
Round 2 of apple rings

Solgar, Saw Palmetto Berry Extract, 60 Veggie Caps
By Solgar
4 Reviews-
Expiration Date:?Mar 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.67 lbs (0.3 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of many types of infections of the respiratory system. The term respiratory system refers to the lungs and breathing passages. These infections include:
These infections are common. They are usually most severe in infants, young children, and older people. However, these infections can happen at any age. In severe cases, RSV infections can cause death.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
RSV is spread through infected fluids in the mouth and nose. The virus most often enters the body from touching the mouth, nose, or eyes. It can also be spread by inhaling droplets from a sneeze or cough.
RSV is spreads easily. It can survive on surfaces and objects for hours. It is easily passed from person to person. Virus shedding usually lasts for 3-8 days, but may last for up to four weeks.
RSV is more common in infants and young children, especially under 2 years old. Other factors that may increase your chance of RSV include:
The symptoms of RSV infection vary with age and previous exposure to RSV. Very young children, elderly people, and people with chronic diseases are more likely to have severe symptoms.
In children younger than three years old, RSV can cause illnesses such as bronchiolitis and pneumonia. Symptoms may include:
In children older than three years old, and healthy adults, RSV typically causes an upper respiratory infection or cold. Symptoms commonly include:
Your doctor will ask about you or your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. A variety of tests are available to diagnose RSV. Lab tests called antigen detection assays are commonly done using secretions from the nose.
In most cases, antibiotics are not needed because the infection is caused by a virus, not bacteria.
Mild infections such as colds do not need special treatment. The goal is to ease the symptoms so that you or your child feels more comfortable while the body fights the virus. For symptom relief, try the following:
People of all ages can develop severe infections from RSV. However, it is most common in very young people. Severe infections include pneumonia and bronchiolitis. These may require treatment in a hospital. This treatment is aimed at opening up breathing passages. It may include:

Quarrier redesign up for public vote
The Dell Rapids School District, its booster club and a committee working on a redesign of the Quarrier logo are ready to hear your opinion.Last year Jeff Dvorak, activities director for the school district, gained approval from the school board to investigate a possible update to the Quarrier mascot and logo used by the school since the 1960s. "Through the efforts of students and professionals alike, there are five options for Quarrier fans to choose from," Dvorak said. "Now, we need help from Quarrier nation."Below is a brief description of each image provided by Dvorak. Vote for your favorite by going to https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/quarriers. Use the numbers above the images when casting your ballot.The survey is open through May 22. Votes can also be cast in person at the school district office through Friday. #1 "The strength of this mascot is very obvious. He is moving forward with confidence and power. His clean lines and rounded shape along with a modern font above the rocks makes him appealing to the eye." #2 "The sharpness of the pick-axe provides a nice contrast with the ring holding our school name. This chiseled Quarrier seems as strong as stone and ready to go to work." #3 "He has certainly stood the test of time for over 50 years. Our traditional Quarrier would be updated in a more technologically friendly format so his image could be duplicated with consistency for another 50 years or more."#4 "The pride and power is clear. He is standing with the expression and posture of determination and pride. His detailed look is a bit more traditional, and he sits atop the Quarrier Rock - a font that resembles the look of stone."#5 "This clean, sleek, yet strong look is a mix of strength and speed. He provides a very modern style that is simple and easily transferable to clothes and uniforms while the swinging of the axe adds speed and motion."
