With Guzman fielding below average at second and Dunn WAY below average at first, almost anything hit to that side has a good chance of getting through. If they actually do go after Jacobs, that puts both Willingham and Dunn on the trade block to bring in either some pitching or a middle infielder. Dunn in left is a daunting thought, but at least out there his subpar defense will be less damaging than at first.
The Nats beat the Marlins 6-4 on Michael Morse's 30th home run of the season, a three-run shot in the ninth inning. By virtue of that win, the Nats are 79-80 and have clinched third place in the N.L. East. If they win out they'll finish above .500.
