Nationals poll voters on who should be the starting catcher

Tell me they're kidding.

I just saw the current poll being offered on Nationals.com, and it is ludicrous. I can't believe that anyone would question the catcher position right now!



Oh, sure, most voters sensibly chose starter Brian Schneider, but why on Earth would this even come up?

With all due respect to Mr. Frick and Mr. Flores, both of whom I respect and have full confidence in behind the plate, the idea that either one of them should be starting ahead of Brian Schneider at this point in time is extremely odd.

While they are at it, why don't they just poll Nationals fans on who the starting third baseman should be? Or who our closer should be?

This team might not be perfect, but there are some aspects of the 2007 Nationals which aren't broken, and should not be meddled with.
