All Mopar Parts
If you are looking for quality Dodge parts, Mopar parts, Chrysler parts or Jeep parts, Allmoparparts.com is the place to be. We carry a full line of quality parts and accessories for your car, truck or jeep. You can browse through our massive inventory to find exactly what you are looking for with ease. Our simple searching system allows you to search for your Mopar parts by manufacturer part number, keyword or partial description. You can even locate the Dodge parts or Jeep parts you need by make, model and year of your vehicle.
Top Quality Parts
Unlike many other websites that offer up inferior Chrysler parts or Dodge parts on AllMoparParts.com offers only top quality authentic factory parts. Since all of our parts are factory made and guaranteed to be OEM parts you never have to worry about quality.
OEM parts are the same parts that were installed in your vehicle at the time it was driven off the factory floor. All of the parts have been tested by top engineers who ensured that the Jeep parts and Mopar parts were a perfect fit for your vehicle. The parts are tested for fit, reliability, safety and performance.
Aftermarket parts do not offer the same fit as authentic factory parts and can cause damage to your vehicle. So, even if you can save a few dollars on aftermarket parts in the beginning, in the long run they will cost you more money than the quality original parts.
Quality Chrysler parts from the factory are designed to fit your vehicle, are made with the highest quality materials and tested for the best safety and performance ratings. The parts will offer the most reliability for your vehicle and put the least amount of wear on your engine. This means that the parts are designed to fit, designed to last and designed to keep your vehicle on the road as long as possible.
When it comes to your vehicles warranty you MUST use OEM parts for replacement or repair. If you use inferior aftermarket Dodge parts in your vehicle while it is under warranty from the manufacturer you risk the warranty being voided.
Always be sure that you are getting authentic OEM Chrysler parts or Jeep parts for your vehicle to protect the warranty.
Just because someone says they have authentic OEM parts does not mean they arealways be sure!
We at AllMoparParts.com are authentic dealers and can guarantee our parts authenticity, we don't just say they are original, we can PROVE it!
Cost and Selection
When it comes to cost and selection, we are the best! You will not find better quality at a better price anywhere and you will not find a larger selection of top quality parts. We encourage our customers to compare quality and price with other sites. We know what we offer is the best around, and we want you to know it too!
If you cannot find what you are looking for on our site, we have a full team of highly trained professionals who can help. Our sales specialists are always ready to help you find what you are looking for and if we don't carry it, we will get it!

raw bones = dog heaven
By laurie, the pug lover
from winchester, tn
About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Nature's Variety Raw Bones:
There are drawbacks with anything. Raw bones are messy, but then so are pets in general. So I look for products that promote health and well-being for my pug. I let her chew on a raw bone for about 20 minutes of supervised time/day. More seems to lead to runny bowels. She loves it. I'm happy she's happy. It's great for her teeth and health in general.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Fun for Dogs!
By myfavoritedog
from Great Bend, KS
I have used these for several years now. They are a great, healthy treat for my lab and lab mix. Both dogs love these things and it keeps them occupied for a long period of time. They even enjoy chewing on the bone after all the meat and marrow is gone!As a precaution, I never give them a bone if I cannot be home with them. I think a minimal risk, but things do happen.This is awesome...satisfies their need to chew, cleans their teeth, and keeps jaws strong.

They Love Bones with marrow!
I give my two (a Lab and a Lab mix) one each about once a month. They love these things and it keeps them occupied for several hours. It helps keeps their jaws strong and definitely satsfies their urge to chew!
Keeps my dog busy for hours!
By Max
from Madison, Wisconsin
I have a very active dog that needs to be exercised and kept busy much of the time. When I haven't time to get her out, a lamb bone is just the thing to keep her busy. Nutritious too!

Lamb bones are a favorite!
By Jordan
from Los Angeles,CA
I buy about three of these raw lamb bones for my dog Chocolate whenever I go to get a bag of Canidae all life stages. I ushually get pork necks and trimmed beef ribs at the grocery store but lamb is hard to find there at a good price range. And besides. Those fancy looking lamb chops aren't meant to be fed to dogs. People would probanly freak out if I told them I was buying an 18 dollar lamb for my dog! Nature's Variety lamb bones are not the fancy part of the lamb. Perfectly fit for dogs. My dog loves it. My dog is about the size of a beagle and some parts of the bone are soft enough for him to eat. Good product. Good pricing too.
Mason Loves Them
By Mumma
from Anytown, USA
Mason is so excited when he gets his bone after dinner. He plays with it, jumps around and pounces on it like it's prey. Then he settles down and chews for days! Excellent product!
(3 of 3 customers found this review helpful)
For bigger dogs
My 3 dogs go nuts over these. My 60# dog has no problems with it, but it takes my 35# dogs 4 to 5 hours to eat one. It also causes some diarrhea & vomiting up of small bone fragments in the smaller dogs. They don't have any problems with the smaller bones. I think this bone is a little to big for the smaller guys, causing them to overeat.
Just as advertised
I like giving the beef bones to my Irish Setters as treats between meals and they love them....not only do they help keep the dogs teeth clean, but it keeps them occupied for hours!
Awesome Raw Treat
I love these treats. It seems to bring the wolf out in my dog because she will naturally guard them and chew away. She then takes them outside to bury them and digs them up later to eat. This is actually a normal thing for dogs to do because by burying food they are actually preserving it. It's their own fridge I would say. It looks gross to us but to them it's yummy. I don't mind her doing that though. If I catch her in time before she buries them I will refreeze them for later. This is an excellent treat for dogs and it lasts long. I love all of Nature's Variety products because they are healthy and natural.

Although they sound similar, strains and sprains are not the same thing. A strain occurs when a tendon or muscle is injured. A sprain is what happens when a ligament - the fibrous material that connects bones to other bones - becomes torn, frayed, or otherwise injured.
These types of injuries are very common, but when they occur to the neck or spine, they can be extremely painful. Symptoms include headaches, dizziness, jaw pain, stiffness, and pain radiating to the shoulders, upper back, and arms.
These types of injury rarely require surgery, often responding well to non-surgical care. Below are some products that can help if you have a spinal strain or sprain.
Spinal strain & sprain can be remedies quite easily with good posture, and correct spinal alignment. We offer many products to help relieve the pain you may feel in the upper to lower back. Try zero gravity recliners, neck supports for intermediate relief through out the day and postural supports when at work or driving home.

Thanksgiving in NatsTown
Nov 24, 2011, 12:00 PM EST
On the heels of a season in which they made some significant strides, the Nationals have plenty to be thankful for this time of year.
And fortunately for all of you, I happened to get my hands on a bunch of Thanksgiving messages from all sorts of Nationals employees, from players to coaches to the front office. I can't reveal how I came upon these messages. Let's just say the CIA was very much involved in the process and leave it at that.
So without further ado, here's what everyone in NatsTown is thankful for this year…
DAVEY JOHNSON: That Jim Riggleman decided to commit career suicide at a most opportune moment.
MIKE RIZZO: That baseball didn't ratify a new CBA featuring severe limits on draft spending until after he handed out $41.5 million to Stephen Strasburg, Bryce Harper, Anthony Rendon, Alex Meyer, BrianRead more »

Mark-We are all thankful for your work, but I am also thankful that for the company of all who have read and responded to the blogs over the years, and that those of us who started (under various names) since the very earliest Svrluga days will finally have a good team to discuss.May we all be wearing Nats playoff swag this time next year. There hasn't been an offseason this exciting since we discussed the signing of Cristian Guzman in late 2004 and anticipated a brand new team.+1/2St.

Wasn't too long ago that a local beat writer got caught on the wrong end of a restructuring, and through his own guile and series of contacts, was able to establish his own blog. From there, through smart reporting and insight, that beat writer re-established himself in the local market to where he is the premier reporter for a significant local media property (and a voting member of the BBWAA). And he became a Dad.As a result, we have this forum and his ongoing reporting, and I get my Nats info, for which I am grateful.

Happy Thanksgiving Mark and NIs!!!! Love the photo! I am giving special Thanks for the safety of Wilson Ramos and of course my wonderful family!Mark, your list is great. On Rizzo's list though if Dunn stayed in DC, he would have continued on his career numbers after he was given several weeks to recover from his appendix operation (he rushed back too quick in Chicago). This is why I believe if Prince Fielder moves he will see his numbers drop.

I'm always very grateful, especially at this time of year, but this year, more so… for a ballclub with excellent prospects, for the first time in my life! And such a fun group of "imaginary friends", to share it with… I've yet to hear a stupid comment, about baseball, here…and given the passion each of us has for out Nats… The overall tone remains remarkably civil. Thanks for having me, and……GYFNG!!!!!!!!!(and Brian…. Lighten up! You'll get you little fists wrapped around a drumstick…next year…hands close together, back elbow up….)

Really since Riggs did what I had been advocating for since end of 2010……that is LEFT and ended the limbo waiting game until we got a proven longer term real manager I have been very happy with Nats decisions.Loved the Draft signings in Aug. Loved playing he youth and pitching Strass. down the stretch. Loved the move to find a true Lead off man and Center Fielder and 200 inning legit #3 starter. All good really.Negatives really from post Rigss time….really only that Desmond still seems to be the SS and that Learners seem still be be dead set against international signings of any value. But hey even those are not deal breakers if you spend like they did on domestic draft and Ian keeps improving his D like he seems to be doing.So I am quite and thankful today.

Mark – any chance the Nats bring Josh Willingham back in 2012? Willingham in left, Werth in center and Morse in right would be a nice OF and give us some more pop in the lineup. Of course, that sill does not provide us with a leadoff guy but it adds consistency through the heart of the lineup.A couple of more questions, what exactly would the market value be for Jesue Flores? I hear a lot of folks saying we should trade him after Norris' great AFL season, but is there really a market for a light hitting oft injured catcher?Also, what about aquiring Alonso from the Reds, they are looking for some pitching and we have plenty.
- natsfan1a - Nov 25, 2011 at 4:03 PM
Don't know whether Rizzo will be looking for Black Friday deals but trust that he won't get suckered into any bait-and-switch deals of the day. 😉
- Slidell - Nov 25, 2011 at 4:16 PM
Hopeful: I liked Josh very much and was sorry to see him go. But, given his propensity for injury and (many say) defensive liability, he seems better designed to be an AL DH. Not to mention his probable hefty price tag. And, then there's the matter of draft pick compensation, assuming the new CBA hasn't changed that.And lastly, there's Mr. Harper presumably coming along soon.
- Hopeful_2012 - Nov 25, 2011 at 4:25 PM
Slidell – I do not think Josh will be that hefty a price tag and Morse is already a defensive liability in LF so Willingham is an even switch in my mind. Werth is a defensive liability in RF because of his weak arm so moving him to CF makes sense.
- Wally - Nov 25, 2011 at 4:30 PM

Hopeful,Why do u think Werth has a weak arm? He has a strong and very accurate arm. I'll give u that Morse does not belong in the outfield.
- Anonymous - Nov 25, 2011 at 10:41 PM
I do not think Josh will be that hefty a price tag and Morse is already a defensive liability in LF so Willingham is an even switch in my mind.You are comparing what was originally a major league shortstop in the Mariner's system to a someone who was a catcher? And the reason Willingham couldn't play catcher was because of his knees and back? And those have only gotten worse as he has aged? Both Willingham and Dunn are AL DH's at this point in their careers … and there shouldn't be any argument about that. Meanwhile, Morse DEFINITELY manages the outfield better than both Willingham and Dunn so there is improvement. He has far greater range than both and many of his gaffe's are related to his use of that extended range. However, Morse is clearly better at first base, almost gold glove caliber play. And left field will become Harper's to roam next season at some point.
- Anonymous - Nov 25, 2011 at 10:54 PM
At this point the OF probably looks like this on Rizzo's door:LF Harper : Morse, Bernadina, BrownCF ???? [trade] : Brown, BernadinaRF Werth : Bernadina, Morse, BrownThe infield something like this for 2012 at this point. 3B: Zimmerman : Lombardozzi, Morse [yep he can play third.]2B: Espinosa : Lombardozzi, Morse1B La Roche : Morse, Marerro, MooreSS Desmond : Lombardozzi, EspinosaC Ramos : Flores, SolanoIf Johnson places Corey Brown in center it likely wouldn't be any different than putting Ankiel out there … except Ankiel has the best arm in the history of baseball. Hitting wise I believe it would end up as a wash. Brown would have to have a spectacular spring to impress Johnson.La Roche transitions to Morse eventually … with Marerro on the bench. Of course it all depends on who is hitting in the spring … if La Roche is having a good ST he likely could be traded to open up spots for Harper and eventually Rendon and Moore. Unless trade[s] occur this offseason in which Moore/Marrero are involved. Seems kind of likely since neither has a left-handed bat like Yonder Alonso. Clearly the bench needs to be strengthened. If a CF cannot be acquired that becomes ever more critical.
- Anonymous - Nov 25, 2011 at 10:57 PM
Has anyone heard about our arbitration offers? I was curious about whether the offered Gorzy arb.That would be the non-tender deadline in mid-December Wally. This deadline was about free agent-to-be's with enough service time. Gorzy and another guy the Nats have interest in: Upton come in mid December around the winter meetings. That's when all the action is likely to occur.

Mike Morse was not hopeless at 1B, but he was pretty bad.According to fangraphs, of players who played 1B for 500 innings or more in 2011, MM ranked 23rd out of 28 (just above Prince Fielder….I'm not comparing him to LaRoche, who is an absolute magician with the glove, but when Chris Marrero played the position it was like night and day. The other infielders were startled to have a 1B who actually charged in for bunts, instead of Morse–who waited at 1B for the other fielders to get the ball to him. Now, in defense of Morse, he made a terrific effort, and he never had any real chance to learn the position in the minors.http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=1b&stats=fld&lg=all&qual=500&type=1&season=2011&month=0&season1=2011&ind=0&team=0&players=0

Maybe this will help. The Nationals can either offer arbitrationto the following players or non-tender them.

A team under severe salary restrictions: (Many teams' FO's are eyeing this for the winter meetings)David Price – $7.8MM LHSP (top-of-the-rotation)B.J. Upton – $7.6MM CF (non-tender candidate)Jeff Niemann – $3.1MM RHSPJoel Peralta – $2MM CLOSER/SETUP (former Nat)J.P.

I'm not comparing him to LaRoche, who is an absolute magician with the glove, but when Chris Marrero played the position it was like night and day.NatsLady I'm not sure what games you are watching but you have it completely reversed. Marerro is considered less of a first baseman than Tyler Moore and he is pretty bad. FP Sant'Angelo called Morse's play at first base gold glove caliber. He did not say that about Marerro.Morse's UZR according to FanGraphs was: -5.1 and -8.2 UZR/150.La Roche's : 3.8 and 13.4Marerro : -1.6 and -7.2Prince Fielder : -5.1 and -5.2Albert Pujols : 2.4 and 2.1This appears to indicate that Fielder, Marerro and Morse are about equivalent. But Morse does have the greater range as he was formerly a shortstop with the Marlins. La Roche is head-and-tail about Pujols. Clearly.The difference? Morse can play a decent left field.Pujols probably could … La Roche, Marerro and Fielder cannot.Morse can play a decent right field.None of the above can.Morse can play a decent third base.Pujols can .. La Roche, Marerro, and Fielder cannot.Morse likely could play a decent 2nd base.Pujols, Marerro, and Fielder cannot.I think that says something about Morse's athleticism, range and arm.

Anon @6:27, I looked for the Santangelo quote but didn't find it. I was watching games in which Marrero played. Ok, so maybe "night and day" is an exaggeration, but Marrero ranked above Morse.Here is the ranking of the Nats' first basemen according to fangraphs:http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=1b&stats=fld&lg=all&qual=100&type=1&season=2011&month=0&season1=2011&ind=0&team=24&players=0

Anon @6:27, I looked for the Santangelo quote but didn't find it. I was watching games in which Marrero played. Ok, so maybe "night and day" is an exaggeration, but Marrero ranked above Morse.MASN sports videos. Select Nationals. You will find that you might get more information listening the sources rather than reading what the pundits disseminate for you.Again, Fangraphs analysis is subjective based on UZR NOT ON INNING played. See the number of innings Marerro has played versus Morse. In 2010 Morse had a 0.6 UZR and a 14.2 UZR/150 in 60 innings at first base. That is equivalent to La Roche. In total Morse has played 867 innings at first base, 32.2 innings at third base, 453 innings at shortstop, 495.2 innings at shortstop, 597.1 in right field. Do you think Marerro, Fielder, or La Roche could do the above? I don't.Just to reinforce this point: La Roche has played 8.252 innings at first base EXCLUSIVELY. His UZR? -12.1 worse than Morse and Marerro. His UZR/150? -1.9. His career stats indicate he is not as good a first baseman as many seem to think. Yet at this point in his career he certainly seems to be. That may be because in his first full year with the Brave he had an -18.2 UZR and a -19.7 UZR/150. The next year he was like Morse and Marerro both still in their first full year at first base in the majors: -4.6 UZR and -4.2 UZR/150 and that was his second year.Marerro has played 264 innings at first base mostly in September games when the Nats were out of any playoff race. And so Morse has played more innings at first than did Marerro. Marerro needs to put a number of innings in … perhaps 2-3 years before any real judgement can be made. This is also true for infielder Michael Morse who has been more of a utility guy up to this point. Morse is the faster runner and the more agile athlete. There is absolutely NO DOUBT about that. Morse does not have the best fielding record UZR-wise during his time in the majors. Partly because he became more of an "offensive" utility player that could play every position around the diamond except pitcher, catcher and center field. Again, Marerro is a right-handed first baseman who seems unable to hit for power as he did when he was younger. And Marerro needs to play more games at first base before any judgement can be made.However, it is true that if Morse is traded that would be one component of that: the fact that he isn't as good a fielder as the Nats would like in the field at this time. But, then, Marerro definitely is not and it seems likely that he will get traded to an AL team sooner rather than later. Does Marerro project to be as good as La Roche? Very doubtful. Could Morse get that good? He is the better athlete so perhaps.
- NatsLady - Nov 26, 2011 at 12:42 AM
Agree Marrero does not project as good a fielder as LaRoche, and that he will probably not "cut it" in the majors unless he improves his offense. Not trying to be negative about Morse, who is a bunch of fun to watch, except when fielding–did you see him in Taiwan? But he gives great effort, and could improve.I don't read pundits, I go by stats and by my eyes. I looked for the Santangelo quote to try to see what you were talking about. (I consider Santangelo to fall in the "pundit" category for this purpose.)

@NatsLady,You have to watch the videos. The most recent one where FP interviews Morse about his season (always better than Debbie Taylor wife of a Nats scout) but she does interview Rizzo about the team in 2012. Prefer FP, a really smart baseball guy. They let you see the 10 or so most recent when you go all the way to the right, select media and the Nationals from the pulldown. MASN is WAY WAAAAY TOO Orioles oriented. So, you have to be kind of discriminating. Pete Kerzel (Mr. Orioles fan) constantly tries to throw Orioles crap in the way. And even FP Sant'Angelo commented on the bias when the O's and Nats met last season.Now they have a commercial where Showalter basically replaces Riggleman. MASN as a Nats outlet has to end SOON!!!! Kerzel, Goesling, Taylor, Knight should not be involved with the Nats period. But I do like FP who is extremely knowledgable.
- Anonymous - Nov 26, 2011 at 1:15 AM
Back to the topic. The guy to watch is Tyler Moore. If he repeats 30+ homers in Syracuse? Gets a 10-15 homer early start? You can bet your Nats cap Davey Johnson will call him up.The interesting thing here is the availability of Yonder Alonso a left-handed hitting first baseman who hits for good power. He is blocked by MVP Joey Votto. For Mike Rizzo he is the perfect fit at first base when La Roche is traded in July. Rizzo HAS what Jockety wants : starting pitching and an allstar reliever named Tyler Clippard. If you look at a lineup that includes lefties Harper, Alonso, (S) Espinosa, (S) Lombardozzi … well I think you get the picture. I think they end up with Upton as either a 'stopgap' in CF (he is ONLY 26!!!) or a semi-permanent fixture. With Werth out there until at least 2015-2017 you now have 2 right handed hitters.The Nats need to find left-hander power beyond Harper. Alonso appears to fit the bill. So, in the end Morse, Moore, Marerro, Desmond, and Clippard could become assets that would be traded to build the balanced the lineup Rizzo seeks. However, Davey Johnson may have other ideas … yet he has also stated that there is a death of left-handed hitting in the Nat's lineup.Rizzo likes to play a bit of subterfuge keeping his true goals under the radar to facilitate trade negotiations.
- NatsLady - Nov 26, 2011 at 5:33 AM
Didn't you say Tyler Moore is not a good fielder.Rizzo will not trade Clippard.
- gonatsgo - Nov 26, 2011 at 1:53 PM
I think Morse gets a bad rap for his defense. He came up as a shortstop, played right for us in 2010, left 2011, then 1b then back to left. He went YEARS without an error. His versatility alone is amazing. I have made this point before about players – you just cannot expect them to be absolutely perfect in a position that they have just moved into – but Morse was quite good at 1b, especially when you consider that he hadn't played it before. No – not up to LaRoche, but a quick study and seemed to know his limitations. That's why you didn't see him charge sometimes – he played within his own skill set rather than botch it up. He's a huge guy, and so he is not going to have the quickness of a small, lean guy, but he has such a long stride that he can cover some ground. I have also heard "humorous" ( not) comments about him being a big, dumb, guy – I'm not buying that, either. I love his enthusiasm, never see him bark at an umpire or have a fit, just seems like an all-around asset to the team.

NatsLady…… Oh yes he will…..
- Joe Seamhead - Nov 26, 2011 at 4:04 PM
gonatsgo, I agree 100% with you regarding Morse. He played a solid 1st base, though not spectacular. He played a pretty good RF in 2010. He doesn't seem to get as good of a read in LF, but he still plays it better then Willingham. So many people that never played the outfield seem to think that any infielder can make the move to the OF. It just isn't so. There really is a natural "radar" that some guys have that can't be taught. So many guys that played IF have a near unbreakable habit to charge forward at the sound of the bat, only to have the ball go over their head, resulting in extra base hits that should have been outs, or a fast guy making the adjustment resulting in a spectacular catch of a ball that a natural OF gets the proper jump on, making the catch routine. Morse still has a tendency to take that initial step in, and I think that is his major flaw in LF. Josh Willingham also comes in too often, in addition to taking very poor routes to the ball, resulting in extra bases on balls that should be singles. Willingham-type outfielders drive up pitcher's era's, as do Dunn-type first basemen. As to Morse being a "big, dumb guy," that's just baloney. I will say that in my many years as a baseball fan, I've never seen anybody that comes across being more thankful for playing in the ML's, nor seen many that seem to be having more fun! He's a joy for all of us to watch.Nat's Lady, I would be very surprised to see Clip traded unless the return was incredible.
- NatsLady - Nov 26, 2011 at 4:31 PM
Here is how I think Davey lays out his BP:A: Storen (closer), Clipp (setup and fireman)B: HRod and Mattheus (closer and setup)Then he wants RHP long reliever, LHP long reliever. That's 6 guys in the BP. 5-man rotation gives you 11 pitchers. He will either put a "specialist" in the BP or leave it at 11 and add to the bench until someone gets injured.Rizzo is not trading Clip because that would mean the bullpen goes from STRONG to average/below average. Clipp will win games for you by putting out fires. I never said Morse is a "big, dumb guy" because I don't think he is.
- JayB - Nov 26, 2011 at 5:08 PM
I Agree with NJack…Rizzo will trade Clip if he gets value in return….Clip is going to get costly in Arb and beyond years….Nats have lots of options coming down the pike for that role……CF and Lead Off guy….Rizzo would trade almost anyone….Hell he was willing to trade Danny E last year….he sure would trade Clip now.
- sunderland - Nov 26, 2011 at 5:16 PM
Clip is not untradable. One reason he could get dealt – Rizzo knows he can rebuild a bullpen better than patch up other parts of the team.And I don't disagree that a 6 man bullpen might be DJ's desire, but he does not have a rotation that will allow that. We won't have our starters going deep enough, frequently enough, to keep a fresh bullpen with only 6 guys.So, Philly passed up on one year of Roy Oswalt for a net price of $14M. ($16M Club option for 2012, that they declined, and instead paid a $2M buyout).Does Philly know something that we do not? Would you take Oswalt for one year for $14M?

Clippard is someone who can and likely will be traded. Again, Natslady, Clippard did a good job last year but his body of work to this point does not match Storen's. And if you put him in the wrong situation he can get hammered. Last year was the first year he handled inherited men on base well and it led to an AllStar appearance. Storen has not pitched as much as Clippard and so he has run up far fewer miles. Clippard's value has never been higher, likely never will be higher. Its the same with Lannan … albeit given his still young age he may still have the ceiling to be a Buehrle type pitcher … there's a chance they bring in BOTH Oswalt and Buehrle. If they do that would pretty much preclude Lannan as Johnson seems to strongly favor Detwiler. Then you've got Milone. I can't disagree with those two moves.As for the long men in the bullpen that looks like Stammen, Gorzelanny, and/or Detwiler at this point. Erik Arneson coming up on the outside. He had a pretty impressive 2011 minor league season in AA/AAA and that is what they appear to be grooming him to be.
- Anonymous - Nov 26, 2011 at 6:14 PM
Didn't you say Tyler Moore is not a good fielder.He's not, but scouts consider his range and ceiling in this are higher than Marerro's. The other thing? He is about two years older than Marerro. It may be why his power numbers vastly outmatch Marerro at this point. His BA doesn't match Marerro and he strikes out way too much. But he did win minor league player of the year in the Nats system. Basically, one could let Marerro spend another year or so in AAA to hone his skills. That is not the case with Tyler Moore given his age.

His versatility alone is amazing.Correction:In total Morse has played 867 innings at first base, 32.2 innings at third base, 453 innings at shortstop, 495.2 innings at shorstop, 597.1 in right field.In the majors Morse played:867 innings at first base.453 innings at short stop.495.2 innings in left field.587.1 innings in right field.32.2 innings at third base.And at the AAA level played mostly 2nd base and third base after his first introduction to the majors at shortstop.Its why Rizzo called him one of the hardest working guys and evidence that perseverance pays. He really means when he says he'll do anything just to be in the starting lineup. That of and in itself is why Morse is a keeper if he can maintain his offensive performance at a reasonably high level.Fangraph's ranking of first basemen:(This was of course August 4th)Tier OneAdrian GonzalezJoey VottoPrince FielderMiguel CabreraAlbert PujolsTier twoPaul KonerkoLance BerkmanMark TeixeiraRyan HowardKevin YoukilisTier ThreeFreddie FreemanGaby SanchezMichael MorseBilly ButlerMichael CuddyerMichael YoungEric HosmerTodd HeltonBut it gives you a pretty good idea where would Morse fit … La Roche is listed as "off the radar" as would Marerro but La Roche would likely end up in Tier 4 and Marerro in Tier 5 with regular play. Yonder Alonso is is in Tier 5. Another year like last playing full time at first and Morse could move up to Tier Two. Its a good bet that La Roche may steeply decline from this point forward. Note where Prince Fielder sits and given his age one can't help but wonder if the Nats aren't still considering the possibility. MLBTR projects Fielder to land in Seattle.

http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/on-ethier-and-werth-and-keepers/http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/crawford-or-werth-in-2012/The 33-year-old Werth is a little more complicated. At his best, he provided across-the-board value. Even his batting averages, in Philadelphia at least, were always good enough that he was a five-category stud. Yes, he's older, and he's post-peak, but he's also falling from a better peak than Ethier. Shouldn't he be a keeper?Well, maybe. If he can get his strikeout rate closer to the 22-23% level (24.7% last year) and his BABIP back up to the .320ish level (.286 last year) that he enjoyed from 2008-2010, he'll get that batting average back up over .250. With a .250+ batting average, and a little bounce-back in power, probably driven by a few more fly balls (his 43% ground-ball rate was the worst of his career from a power perspective), he could once again approach 25/20 numbers. Golebiewski had more on him earlier this week if you want to read on, but Werth could easily be better in 2012 than he was in 2011. Given how bad he was last year, it's even probable.But he's still not in the keeper's Tier and what follows is the explanation as to why:First, there's the matter of age. Werth is older than any of the tier fivers and that adds risk to the package. And risk is really the thing — you want your keepers to be devoid of risk. Sure, both of these guys might recover some of their value next year, but wouldn't you feel safer with a 27-year-old with the upside to improve rather than a 33-year-old looking to recover old levels of production?The second reason to keep the younger guys is perceived value. This may seem like a paradox — if two players are likely to put up similar statistics, but one is higher in perceived value, shouldn't you trade the one who others like more and keep the guy you like as much? Yes. With a twist — you should trade away your Drew Stubbs if you think Jayson Werth is going to give you similar value, absolutely. But you still shouldn't keep Jayson Werth.Because you should draft him. That's where you get bounce-back guys on the fringes. And we're not talking about Hanley Ramirez here. If he bounces back, you get a first-rounder. But if a guy might bounce-back to middle-round value, he's a guy to draft, not keep. If you're in a dynasty league, sure, keep the older guys. They'll have more value in the midst of a better season then they would now.Plus:– Werth's hit many more ground balls than usual in 2011, giving another reason to be bearish about his power-hitting prospects. He had a 43% ground ball rate in D.C., compared to a 38% career averaging prior to 2011. That goes a long way toward explaining Werth's lower HR total and his .157 Isolated Power, which was a good 80 to 90 points below what he did during his Phillies glory days.The crux of this? Now that Mark has made a very convincing argument as to why the Nats should raise the payroll. There is the issue of Rizzo convincing Ted Lerner to make the moves. Will the Werth move adversely affect his ability to do that?
- Anonymous - Nov 26, 2011 at 8:49 PM
Adding to the above: Rizzo's decision to sign Maya Yuniesky to a guaranteed contract. This is where Davey Johnson's presence may be more help to Rizzo and the FO than many might think. Johnson might be a voice Lerner would listen to.

I can see us all, years from now, telling youngsters about the Old Days, when the Nats weren't perennial champions, and the season was only seven months long, COUNTING the playoffs. "We didn't have Indoor Season during November-March. Why, back in the Winter of Aught-Seven, we had to burn pictures of the players to keep warm. We got through the off-season with one picture of Dmitri Young. Not even in uniform. Lasted several dozen of us three months, that did.

Why'd Zuck have to call Riggleman's resignation "career suicide"? Riggleman quit. He is by no means black-balled in MLB. His decision to walk away from the Nats might be a head-scratcher to a lot of people, but it is not deemed some demonic or idiotic move objectively. Rizzo essentially called him a quitter, but no one else any place in baseball (where Riggs is well-liked and respected from having handled himself well in several organizations for 20+ years) did much name-calling. dfh21

Thanks for the LOL, sec3, and the stats page."You had a photograph of a player? How we longed for photographs."Names, schmames. There have been number of managerial openings since Riggleman left, some for teams he'd been involved with in the past, but so far…crickets. Speaking of former Nats managers, kinda cool that somebody voted for Acta for manager of the year (ducks and covers).Sec 3, My Sofa said… I can see us all, years from now, telling youngsters about the Old Days, when the Nats weren't perennial champions, and the season was only seven months long, COUNTING the playoffs.

Nats Jack — Well, Edwin Rodriguez quit the Marlins like 2 weeks before Riggleman quit, but he was losing to beat the band. Riggleman was in the media coversation as a managerial candidate in St. Louis (where he has a history) last month, and in Boston as recent as 10 days ago, and he interviewed for a bench job with the Mets in October. Rizzo got a 5-yr renewal in the offseason befoe 2010's season, nothing for Jim. Nothing for Jim in the Spring, nothing for Jim as the club had its best record in years in late June and with no Stras and little Zim and a close to worthless Werth. Riggleman was right, Rizzo refusing to extend him was essentially the same as not picking up his option at season's end. Rizzo saying that the decision whether to pick up the option took more time and deliberation, thus a conversation with Jim about it was useless, was pretty silly as Riggleman had been on the bench for years and at the helm for something like 300 games or so. I am not saying Riggleman was smart to quit or anything, but the Nats left him a short-timer on a club with guys that did not respect the manager, because they knew he was dead man walking, so Riggleman walked away from the situation. He predicted that his replacement would not be coming in on a 1 year deal and he was right. He is one of like 20 guys with decent experience managing a club in the bigs. I am not thinking that he'll never manage again based on him quitting. Who knows. We'll see. dfh21
- Dawn - Nov 28, 2011 at 1:54 AM
Regarding Riggleman, he made his decision and I'm sure it made sense to him at the time. There is so much speculation on what really went on behind the scenes, with Rizzo and players being unhappy, etc. He left the team on a high note and he honestly seemed to think no one would care if he left. Other managers have left teams mid-season,left money on the table, and have returned to manage and manage well. Jim Leyland left the Rockies citing burnout and then eventually signed with the Tigers in 2006. That year they reached the World Series.
- Joe Seamhead - Nov 28, 2011 at 1:58 AM
Riggs won't ever manage in the majors again. He was never more then an interim manager here. He agreed to a bad deal when he signed on, and he knew it, but he really wanted the job in his hometown. Seriously, if you were a ML general manager, would you risk your skin to hire him?
- Anonymous - Nov 28, 2011 at 2:23 AM
Sweet Lou quit on two clubs before seasons' end. And note both Lou and Jim ended up working for the Giants last year.I am betting some GM does hire Riggleman at some point. He has a bunch of experience and he's young enough to hang on someplace for a 5 year window, and he is well thought of in the game. Think about Manny Acta. He stunk to High Heaven and still managed to get another job. Riggleman actually performed pretty well. Quitting on the Nats may have actually helped him get his next job. Had the Nats not re-inked him, and they were not going to re-ink him, then maybe the world thinks "the Nats must know something we don't" and they stay away from the guy. But, the way he did it, it was a matter of principle and he was winning games with a lousy team. Even Davey Johnson was amazed that Riggleman was winning with the awkward roster he had been given. I bet Riggs ends up a bench coach this summer, or a AAA manager, something in uniform for some club, and he's back in the bigs as a manager by 2014. There's just not a lot of guys out there who have managed in both leagues and in big markets.He did us a favor though no matter how you slice it, he amde Rizzo bring in a bigger name sooner. Now Johnson's ramping up period is over essentially a year sooner and Johnson will not suffer upper management telling him who starts, or veteran players going behind his back to the GM to complain about being pulled from games and he will not be OK with the club not doing all it can to win (both players and Rizzo). Rizzo cannot afford Davey telling the Nats that he has better things to do with his time than be disrespected at his age.
- Unkyd - Nov 28, 2011 at 2:25 AM
Sigh… I thought, perhaps, the Riggs discussion had been put to rest, some time ago… My take hasn't changed: I'm sure the decision was intensly personal, for him. So much criticism seems based on the unlikelihood of another ML manager position. Riggs has had a long and rewarding ($$) career in baseball, and there are SO many ways to contribute, on SO many levels, it's very easy for me to believe that the head job is hardly the difference between him being fulfilled, from here on. It's true, a contract is a contract, but to me, any man is justified, if the face in the mirror is no longer respectful, if he feels utterly disrespected, to follow his heart. He left nobody starving and destitute… it's just a baseball team. Anybody intimate with Jim's decision making is probably gonna keep mum, and anyone else offers only uninformed opinion, like me. Got yer back, Riggs…
- Anonymous - Nov 28, 2011 at 2:33 AM
I never considered the notion that Riggleman may have helped himself long term by quitting — maybe no publicicy is bad publicity? Who knows. I agree that having a manager who has the creds of Johnson, a name guy with a World Series pedigree, etc., already on board is a plus. Johnson wants to win another Championship not worry about playing nice with the Jason Marqis's of the world or even the Mikle Rizzo's for that matter. dfh21

Riggleman? Wrong manager for this team and Mike Rizzo/Roy Clark style of GM'ing a franchise. Davey Johnson: right style.Under Johnson: Desmond improved. Morse improved. Werth Improved. Zimmermann improved. Detwiler improved. Riggleman was depending on Hairston and Cora, La Roche, Marquis, and Ivan Rodriguez. Bottom line: he would have come crashing down as that was his approach the previous year. Play the veterans. Respect the veterans and the game. And after the year was over complain about the lousy roster he was handed. Johnson brings up everyone in AAA who he deemed worth a look. And he actually played them quite a bit. His intent? Build a roster for 2012 that would win: first find out what he had in-house before thinking about free agents or trades. Makes an abundant amount of sense to me.That IS something Riggleman would NEVER DO. And if they were foisted on him by Rizzo he would never play them opting instead to play his veterans until Rizzo flipped them for prospects as he did with Hairston and Marquis. Remember? Riggleman: Respect the veteran, respect the game, respect everyone but the fans paying to see games. Sure, Hairston did well for Milwaukee at the end and in the playoffs. But he isn't the future of this (the Nationals) franchise! Lombardozzi, Espinosa, Desmond may be.Riggleman was completely wrong for the current state of this franchise from the get-go! Rizzo's only mistake was not realizing that sooner and doing something about it. Of course ownership might have had a say and Riggleman was extremely inexpensive relatively speaking.

A: Some folks are offended by anything. How are you going to have an attitude when asked about the ink dragon covering your entire arm? That's like getting incensed when someone inquires about your bumper stickers. You put them there for people to notice!
Don't get me wrong: I'd be perturbed if I had an ex-husband's name splayed across the back of my neck, and you quizzed me about it. But soon after the spousal breakup, I'd be prepared with a self-deprecating response or outlandish story. When one displays body art, questions should be expected. Perhaps the prolonged needle exposure in the tattoo parlor has made some a tad sensitive.
Q: I'm tired of kids complaining of being bored over summer vacation. I don't know a parent alive that doesn't hear this. When we were little, we found or made up things to do. Children don't use their imaginations or go outside. What do you think of this?
A: I think it's time for a parental revolution. The average American boy or girl spends only four to seven minutes in unstructured outdoor play each day but squanders 53 hours a week in front of an electronic screen. Our kids are bored because we've neglected something essential to their well-being, health and development: connection to the natural world. They are deficient in elemental things. Like us, they need to get outside to restore the body, mind and soul.
Other factors are our hurried, over-scheduled lifestyles; our deep fear that it's not safe to let kids play outside by themselves; and the well-meaning but misguided belief that we're denying them opportunities if we don't enroll them in everything. This kind of thinking damages the entire family. Will enough parents begin the revolution in their own homes?
Eve Ross, a mother of two in North Carolina, decided to take a stand.
"My husband and I have been swimming against the current for the past 13 years," she said in an article on CNN.com. "We heavily promote sitting outside under the trees and watching the leaves fall, making up games, painting and reading.
"I can't begin to tell you how viciously we were attacked by other parents telling us how sorry they felt for our children because they were so deprived and would be so behind the other kids as they grew up. … Turns out just the opposite is true. Our kids are grounded, thoughtful, excellent problem-solvers, incredibly creative, extremely well read and never bored. They are calm, meditative and, most importantly, happy."
Childhood should be a time of freedom, spontaneity and fresh air. Third grade wouldn't have been nearly as nice without the time I spent perched high up in a magnolia tree.
My middle school years were made bearable thanks to all the daydreaming done in our backyard hammock. (And I bet my neighborhood had far more crime than yours does now.) By today's standards I was thrown to the wolves and allowed to run with them and for that I am grateful.
Two scenes come to mind from my experience working at a private school. First was the ninth-grader who plopped down in my office to whine that her personal trainer was 10 minutes late.
That was ridiculous, but the situation viewed through my window was more telling. A 5-year-old reached for her father's hand as they walked to their car in the parking lot.
He was busy texting and didn't notice his little girl trying to hold his hand. She tried twice more before giving up.
Our children reflect our parenting. If we want them to change, we'll have to work on ourselves first.

TV One is taking a cue from Bravo, whose "Housewives" franchise is one of reality TV's most successful, and capitalizing on its highly successful "R&B Divas" with a spinoff: "R&B Divas LA."
The lineup includes R&B and hip-hop singer, Lil Mo, who ironically turned down the opportunity to join the Atlanta cast originally.
"I got a call asking if I was I interested [in 'R&B Divas Atlanta'] and I really wanted to know who the cast was going to be – I mean Atlanta was cool but the type of artists they are, it just didn't seem like a fit," admitted Lil Mo. "I'm more hip-hop and R&B and that ATL scene just was a different vibe. Faith Evans was the most mainstream artist on there. So I wasn't sure about joining the Atlanta one, but when the LA opportunity came around, I was like, 'Yeah, this is more my style,'" she explained.
While the ATL cast doesn't impress the "Superwoman" songstress very much, she was floored when she heard about the LA cast.
"The cast [of 'R&B Divas LA'] includes Kelly Price, Chante Moore, Dawn Robinson, Claudette Ortiz and Michel'le," said Lil Mo. "I know a couple of people might make you say, 'Damn. I didn't even know they were still alive, but dammit when I saw the roster I was like, 'Oh, wow.' I'm happy to be in the company of some great singers."
Lil Mo is being very smart with her brand and business moves these days. She said this show is just the platform she needs to make a return to music.
"I thought that coming back with TV would be the best way to introduce me as an artist and with music," said Lil Mo. "I have a lot of things coming up – new album, new TV show, just a whole new life. It's like I have been born again and the only one who could orchestrate this rebirth this way is God."
"R&B Divas: LA" premieres July 10 on TV One.
Read more about Lil Mo's upcoming album, who she would like to do a duet with and how she us managing being a mom and artist in the July 2013 issue of Sister 2 Sister.

Deep in Eastern Europe, Bulgaria sits quietly, waiting to be discovered as a travel destination. Flirting with capitalistic success but still inextricably tied to a traditional farming lifestyle, the face of Bulgaria is in flux and the timely traveler will encounter a Bulgaria that is a new blend of both an old and new world.
What to do
Bulgaria's popular destinations are mostly cities of varying degrees of prettiness along rivers of differing degrees of windiness. You'll most likely spend your time in Bulgaria touring different urban centers and the biggest and most popular city is Bulgaria's capital, Sofia.
Sofia is full of museums, monuments, bars, dance clubs and parks. Basically everything you could want out of a European city. Although there are few world famous tourist attractions around, Sofia allows you to experience the city and daily lives of the people without a busy sightseeing schedule.
Getting there
Flights into Bulgaria mostly land at the Sofia International Airport, although there aren't that many flights each day. The best way to get to Bulgaria is to catch a plane to the major international hub of Vienna and drive down or take a train or bus from Austria. Once you're in Bulgaria, there is an extensive network of inter-city buses that are the best way to get around the country.
Where to stay
In addition to being the cultural capital of the country, Sofia is also the home to the most and best accommodations in Bulgaria. There are plenty of hotels in Sofia and the coastal city of Varna, as well as hostels in Sofia, Varna and Veliko Turnovo.
