Nats Journal Prediction

Here's the main post and here's what I put:

2009 win total-76 (I meant to put 78, my choice in Mark Hornbaker's contest, but I failed).
Attendance at Nationals Park (81 dates; last year's was 2.32 million)-1.9 mil
All-star representative(s)-Dunn
Adam Dunn's home run total-40 (exactly)
Date of Stephen Strasburg's major league debut-Sept. 2
Nick Johnson's total games played-129
Wins for John Lannan-12
Percentage of season Dmitri Young spends in big leagues, not on DL-20%
Josh Willingham's total at bats-300 total, 60 with Nats
Innings pitched for Daniel Cabrera-160 total, 110 with Nats
Team ERA leader-Lannan
Team batting average leader-Zimmerman
Biggest surprise-Austin Kearns
Biggest disappointment-Rookie Pitchers (ZNN, Martis, Hinckley)...and I'd like to add Anderson Hernandez.
Current minor leaguer (not counting Zimmermann) who will make an impact-Bill Rhinehart

Bonus:
Predict the Nats' rotation entering the last week of the season:
Strasburg
Olsen
Lannan
Mock
Bergmann
(Zimmermann and Martis will be shut down because of innings)

Revisiting the 25 man roster contest

You forgot about it, didn't you? Well, here is the original post, here's the spreadsheet and here are the final standings:

Mike Harris-20 correct

Either Mike is Nostradomus or he sent in his predictions late. I can't find the email, so I don't have a date on it.

Out on a limb (correct): Willingham, Olsen, Cabrera, Zimmermann in the rotation.

Glaring omissions: None.

Dave Nichols-18

Out on a limb (correct): Martis in the rotation.

Glaring omissions: None.

Dave also called the Kip Wells signing!

Andrew (commenter)-16

Out on a limb (correct): Martis in the rotation.

Glaring omissions: None, unless Dunn counts.

Sean Hogan-14 (Zimmermann doesn't count since he's not on the roster)

Out on a limb (correct): Kearns in the starting lineup, Zimmermann in the rotation.

Glaring omissions: Ronnie Belliard (thought they would trade him with Bonifacio), Adam Dunn (even though I saw it coming, I didn't think it would happen).

Hendo-13

Out on a limb (correct): Martis in the rotation.

Glaring omissions: Kearns, Belliard and Saul Rivera.

Steven-13

Out on a limb (correct): Kearns starting.

Glaring omissions: None, unless Dunn counts.

All hail Mike and Dave!

GO NATS!!

25-man roster contest

Here's the deal: I'm going to post up my prediction of the Nats' Opening Day roster for next year. Then you do the same in the comments section (or email me at sthogan@vt.edu and I'll add them to the comments section). This prediction includes offseason acquisitions, callups AND injuries! All I need is a list of 25 players...I'm going to put up my predictions for a lineup/starting rotation but that is not needed. Make sure you post what you think the Nats WILL do, not what they SHOULD do. After a week or so, I'll tabulate everything and post it up and we'll give bragging rights to the winner.

Opening Day Lineup:
SS Cristian Guzman
LF Lastings Milledge
3B Ryan Zimmerman
1B Nick Johnson
CF Elijah Dukes
RF Austin Kearns
C Jesus Flores
2B Emilio Bonifacio

Bench:
C Luke Montz
IF Leonard Davis
IF Alberto Gonzalez
IF/OF Willie Harris
IF/OF Kory Casto
OF Ryan Langerhans

Starting Rotation:
LHP Oliver Perez
LHP John Lannan
RHP Tim Redding
RHP Collin Balester
RHP Jordan Zimmermann

Bullpen:
RHP Joel Hanrahan-CL
RHP Garrett Mock-SU
RHP Saul Rivera
RHP Jason Bergmann
RHP Steven Shell
LHP Mike Hinckley

Sorry it's boring, but the Nats add one player: LHP Oliver Perez. Even at that, I think the chances of signing Perez are 15% or less, but he at least makes sense due to age. They're not going to sign Tex or CC or Sheets. Maybe Dunn, but I doubt it.

EDIT-here's the spreadsheet.
