"We're obviously teammates, and on the field we're fighting for the same thing. But for them to take time out of their off-day — which we don't get many — and getting home at 3:30 or 4:00 in the morning from the West Coast, for so many of them to come out and support me and buy thingsRead more »

It's not even June yet, but apparently it's not too early to begin speculating about Davey Johnson's successor. And so, with Don Mattingly on the hot seat in LA, CBS Sports' Danny Knobler did just that in a column on Thursday, speculating that if Mattingly gets fired, he could be on Mike Rizzo's radar as Davey's eventual replacement. Via CBSSports.com: "People who know Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo say Rizzo is and has always been a Mattingly fan. The Nationals considered Mattingly as manager once before, according to sources, although they never officially interviewed him for the job at that point.... Eventually, though, they will need someone to take over for Johnson, who has said that this will be his final year as manager. Both ownership and the front office are believed to strongly favor hiring a high-profile manager, rather than simply promote someone like Randy Knorr or Trent Jewett from Johnson's coaching staff." Back in 2009 Mattingly turned down an opportunity to interview with the Nats. Different job back then, of course. UPDATE: Sources have confirmed that Jim Riggleman is NOT on Mike Rizzo's short list of potential replacements for Davey. (Screencap via MLB.com video) Befriend Nats Enquirer on Facebook.
