The Washington Nationals have a lot going for them these days. They're a young ball club with a ton of talent grown through their farm system. Having the first overall pick two years in a row helped secure two franchise players in Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper.
This year they should be in contention for the NL East title and some experts even project them to go deep into the playoffs. Keep in mind, this is with their All-Star 3B Ryan Zimmerman having an average year, hitting .248, and losing their top two catchers by the middle of May.
Two or three years down the road, it won't be difficult to see this team competing for titles. After years of mediocrity, the talent has finally come together.
