NCAA Tourney Edition

Sorry folks I have not been able to update lately due to a busy personal schedule and overall lackluster week of spring training for the Nationals.  Once the season gets under way, posts will be coming at you in a greater frequency. In the meantime make sure to check out my weekly posts over at the ever expanding The Nats Blog.  And as I return to my hole, I leave all you March Madness fans with a little NCAA-themed post:

Through all the excitement and pressure that fills spring training, you can expect some friendly ribbing in the Nats clubhouse in the upcoming weeks as the NCAA tournament kicks underway.  Houston takes on Maryland in the first round and I would expect Justin Maxwell to be talking up his team all week to Houston Alum Garret Mock.  Other Nationals players that will have their former alma maters going at it in the big dance include (with college, seed #, bracket):

John Lannan ( Sienna, #13 South)
Tyler Walker (California, #8 South)
Adam Dunn (Texas, #5 South)
Stephen Strasburg (San Diego State, #11 Midwest)
Justin Maxwell (Maryland, #4 Midwest)
Garrett Mock (Houston, #13 Midwest)

Washington Minor League Players that will be rooting on teams this March/April:

Jeff Kobernus (California, #8 South)
AJ Morris/Justin Bloxom (Kansas State, #2 West)
Adrian Alaniz (Texas, #5 South)
Dan Lyons (Minnesota, #11 West)
Jeff Mandel/Cory VanAllen (Baylor, #3 South)
Adam Carr (Oklahoma State, #7 Midwest)
Boomer Whiting (Louisville, #9 South)

And in case you were wondering who I have winning it all this year, look no further than the team with the best player in the country in Kentucky and John Wall.
