... Carl Crawford , spent the majority of his minor league games in center field. David DeJesus , Nyjer Morgan , Lance Nix, Juan Pierre and Chris Dickerson all played the majority of their games in center field. Why does this matter? Well, I'll tell you after the jump...

Still, when the Pirates traded Nyjer Morgan to the Nationals at the end of June, they needed an outfielder while Lastings Milledge rehabbed his wrist and his general attitude toward life. Jones got the call and on July 1st, he made his first Major League appearance since the end of the 2007 season. He went 0-for-4...

When Morgan went down with the hand injury, the Nats' offense went in the tank. But in recent weeks, Justin Maxwell...

Quick, who has been the Washington Nationals' MVP in 2009? Ryan Zimmerman? Adam Dunn? John Lannan? While there are certainly arguments to be made for any of those guys, there might actually be a stronger case for a position player who was with the team for only 51 games this season.
