We learned not to give offseason grades too early after the Nationals signed Eric Thames, so we’ll wait a while before judging the Josh Bell.
Usually I avoid handing out grades when judging transactions for the Washington Nationals. I am too subjective and have a hard time separating myself from the actual business interests of my favorite team.
