Acta added, "Lopez is going to pretty much have to take himself out of it.

Belliard was demoted due to a .214 batting average.

Felipe Lopez played another game in the outfield on Monday night and he was able to produce two hits, an RBI, a run scored and a SB on the night. That's five games in the outfield and counting. Since most leagues use an in-season count of five or 10 games to be elgible at a new position, Lopez is about to join Mark DeRosa as two of the most valuable players in NL Only leagues because of their versatility.
April 5, 2008
Felipe Lopez appeared in his third straight game in the outfield on Saturday and he went 1-for-3 with a walk at the plate while picking up an assist in the field. Already qualifying as a shortstop and second baseman, Lopez is now charging toward adding outfield to his position tree. Lopez has a lot to prove this season after hitting only .245 last year, but he does provide a lot of speed and would become an excellent NL Only pickup given his position eligibility, that is if he doesn't get traded to the AL.

The Nationals are still trying to trade Felipe Lopez, this according to the Washington Post. Last week it was reported that the team was scouting ex-Royal and ROY winner, Angel Berroa, as his replacement. The Post reports that scouts and executives from other teams appear more interested in Ronnie Belliard, who is cheaper -- $3.5 million for the next two years as opposed to L¿pez's $4.9 million for 2008 -- and performing better. Belliard, who appears to have won the starting second base gig for the Nats, is hitting .383 this spring, López .231. No player is safe in Washington. General manager Jim Bowden made that clear with the outright release of John Patterson last week.
March 21, 2008
