I like the idea of buying him, but a Cy Young that's a little nuts. Johan still pitches in the NL right?

A hot spring should not alter the nats long term plans. Austin Kearns has proven he is not very durable or very good. If Washington is going to go anywhere in the next 3 years, they need to give Milledge and Dukes 500+ AB this year. Besides, does anyone really expect Nick Johnson to stay healthy? Adam Dunn will spend the majority of 2009 butching balls at 1B. Dukes has the skill set to be a 30/25 guy with a high OPS. He could also strangle a few ex-gf. He'll be playing every day by early May. I say lowball his owner and reap the benefits. Now seems to be a good time to buy sell on Dukes, especially in keepers. A hot spring should not alter the nats long term plans.

I'm really hoping that his debridement didn't really do anything, because the Pronk of '08 would be an amazing FA pickup.
