Nats go with Riggleman (updated)

[Jollay]

Donny Baseball Mattingly -- bench coach Dodgers
Bobby Valentine
Bob Melvin

Also Jimmy Interim.

I think Riggleman has earned a shot, but it would be kind of cool to have Mattingly, and Valentine is obviously good.

Meh, Melvin.

I think the guy earned it. Only had like two winning seasons as a manager in his career though. 33-42 so far in DC; probably going to have the team show steady improvement next year to stay though for long...

Should be noted the Nats may have wanted Valentine first, however, but his price was too high.

Oh well, earned so leeway in that department after inking Strasburg and Storen.
