Ian Desmond in 2012?

Seeing Yuniesky Betancourt come up to the plate with the bases loaded tonight, and just KNOWING he was going to hit into a double play, on the first pitch, no less, got me thinking.

One of my friends' friends wrote this blog post:

and it seems well thought out. Only thing I might say is, would it be worth it to offer Carlos Gomez for Desmond straight up? Gomez, I think we might all agree, is a frustrating player -- has the tools, but can he put it all together?

Morgan's been solid, and Logan Schafer probably deserves a spot with the big club next year too. AND I know from all the Denard Span / BJ Upton rumors that the Nats really want a new CF. (Plus, if Hairston stays in 2012 he could be the RH platoon mate.)

What do you guys think?
