KENNEDY/GUZMAN MAKING NATIONALS FANS FORGET ORLANDO HUDSON


Nationals' fans were very upset this spring when their team came "this close" to signing all-star second baseman Orlando Hudson for the second consecutive year only to see him get scooped up by another team at the last minute.

The Nationals quickly signed their "Plan B," Adam Kennedy, and have used him as well as former starting shortstop Cristian Guzman at second so far this season.

Has the loss of Hudson been as bad as it might have been?

Playing for the Twins, Hudson is batting .298/.376/.381 with two home runs and 12 RBI this season. The combination of Guzman and Kennedy are hitting .302/.350/.374 with two homers and 29 RBI.

So offensively, at least, the Nationals are doing quite well without Hudson.
