Yes! Ozzie is perfect for Washington! A hot air bag expectorating nonstop incoherent babble! Oh, if he wasn’t born a beltway insider, nobuddy wuz.

And honestly, while the Nats have lacked success over the years, what manager wouldn’t want all of the young talent they have? Seems like a pretty exciting project to me. I’d rather have a handful of young, hungry players to manage then 36 year old prima donnas.

No basis for this, but an interesting idea. Maybe the Nats’ media should ask Ozzie while they’re in Chicago for the White Sox series.

Adam Kilgore of The Washington Post suggested Davey in this morning’s paper:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/nationals/nationals-put-john-mclaren-in-charge-for-now-but-plan-on-finding-another-interim-replacement/2011/06/23/AG6yzHiH_story.html

If Davey gets the job, question is, will he be content to return to an advisory role after the season, while Rizzo looks for someone younger?
