Nats manager: Jayson Werth 'frustrated'

[SammyBirdland]

On Friday afternoon before the Nationals began a series with San Diego, manager Jim Riggleman said he met with Werth, who last December signed a seven-year, $126 million contract with Washington.

"He used the word 'frustrating.' He's been around a lot of winning -- and we're not winning right now," Riggleman said. "Other players are frustrated, and Jayson's becoming one of the voices of the ballclub."

Well, what did you expect, dude? You saw dollar signs and locked yourself in with the Natinals. You might as well go buy something. Enjoy the cash, because you can't expect that you're going to enjoy your job anytime soon if it's winning you're looking for.

At least Arod performed at a high level and waited a few years.

Indeed,more to the point, at least when a certain player who shouldn't be named went after the money, he went to a team where he had a chance to get a ring.

Werth saw the $$$ and it overpowered the fact that by and large, the Nationals are NOT going to be in contention for anything the next few years.
