We have been profiling different players from the 2008 Washington Nationals. That season was the first season the Nats played their home games at Nationals Park. Last week, we looked at outfielder Willie Harris. This week, we stay in the outfield and take a look at Austin Kearns.
Two years prior to the 2006 season, Kearns was acquired in a trade from the Cincinnati Reds along with second baseman Felipe Lopez and right-handed reliever Ryan Wagner. In that deal, the Reds got four players back, including shortstop Royce Clayton.
