Last year this team was an underdog story for sure because they start of looking horrendous and then after around the mid way point this team heats up a lot and makes the wildcard beating out the Brewers, upsetting the dodgers, then beating the cardinals in 7 and finally upsetting the Astros in 7 as well. At the end of the day this team proved that they could win without Bryce Harper and maybe they didn’t need him after all when you look at it. Now the offseason wasn’t too good for the Nats.
First you loose the heart and souls of your team Anthony Rendon. But on the good side they kept Stephen Strasburg, They sign Daniel Hudson, Starling Castro and some other minor moves but at the end of the day like what the Nationals did to stay competitive and for sure we can’t forget they bring in Ryan Zimmerman, and find a gem at first base Eric Thames.
Season Preview
Now this year is normal for the Nats, they have a good team a great pitching rotation lead by Strasburg, Scherzer, and Corbin along with a great bullpen. This team isn’t expected to do much but they can just like last year so this at the end of the day is a mystery team I do have them as an underdog team to win the tittle back to back so we will see.
Questions
Who is replacing Rendon?
A couple of third baseman for sure like Starling Castro and the best prospect Carter Kieboom si that will most likely clone the production of Anthony Rendon and it will give a chance for Kieboom to show what he’s got.
World Series again ?
Again this is a mystery team nobody expected them to be where they were last year so we have to see what happens. Do I expect them in the playoffs! Maybe we don’t know they have pretty much everyone from last year expect Rendon and some other Bench bats so we will see.
