I said this once in a Nats message board, that Bowden was demanding too much from a position of weakness. I was accused of being too pessimistic and that Bowden should demand the farm.

Turns out I was right because without some of form of diplomacy, Bowden failed to do the right thing - trade Soriano. Now he’ll leave and we’ll have jack. This will especially look bad if Wilkerson recovers from his injuries and has the year he is capable of.

I think the draft picks would be nice, but in the long term baseball will be better off by haveing a firm slotting system. no more signability pics.
