Nov. 10, 2009 - 8:10 PM ET

According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, Jim Riggleman is the clear front-runner to be named manager of the Nationals.

Riggleman and Bobby Valentine are the only known finalists for the gig and an announcement is expected on the position by the end of the week. Riggleman led the Nationals to a 33-42 record in 2009 as an interim skipper. He's already drawn praise this offseason from GM Mike Rizzo.
