Jim Riggleman A Good Move For Nationals

What did you think about the Nationals making Jim Riggleman the permanent manager?
-- Charlie B., Washington

It was a great move, because there is going to be discipline and accountability on the team, something that was missing before he became the interim manager. I believe the Nationals will be better in 2010 under Riggleman. I loved the way Riggleman gave opponents the element of surprise -- hit and run with Ryan Zimmerman at the plate, a surprise bunt, squeeze plays and stealing bases. I also admired how he gave a young player like Tyler Clippard confidence to be a major contributor on the team.
