The Washingotn Nationals goal in 2010 is to finish at .500. The team has improved greatly this offseason. The defense can't do any worse than last year. Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez is a great move to help their young pitchers come along. Cristian Guzman will saty at second base with the big pickup of Adam Kennedy.
June 21, 2010 is the date that Stephen Strasburg is set to make is MLB debut vs. the Royals. He was their first round pick in 2009, and signed a 15.1 million dollar deal before even throwing one pitch to a major league hitter. Strasburg will bat right handed, and stands at 6'4" and weighs 220 lbs. His fastball has been clocked at 103 mph, but is usually 95-97 mph. 79-81 mph is how fast Strasburg's curveball has been clocked at.
Jesus Flores had an outstanding 2009 season before getting hurt. The Nationals do not know if or even when he will be healthy in 2010. So they went out and signed veteren catcher Pudge Rodriguez. He got a 2 year deal after having a sad 2009. Many fans and experts call I-Rod one of the greatest defensive catchers in the game of baseball.
Lineup
1. CF Nyjer Morgan 58 career stolen bases
2. 2B Adam Kennedy ALCS MVP and World Champion in 2002
3. 3B Ryan Zimmerman Silver Slugger, Gold Glove, and All Star in 2009
4. 1B Adam Dunn All Star in 2002
5. LF Josh Willingham Hit 2 grand slams in one game
6. RF Elijah Dukes 31 career home runs
7. C Ivan Rodriguez World Series Champion 2003
8. SS Cristian Guzman 2x all star 2001,2008
Rotation
1. John Lannon 20-30 career record
2. Jason Marquis World Series Champion 2006
3. Scott Olsen 475 career strikeouts
4. Livan Hernandez Silver Slugger Award 2004
5. J.D. Martin 4.44 career ERA
Prediction: The offense is pleasent with Kennedy and Pudge. Pitching needs help maybe another fine starter. Bench has no power. Riggleman is an acceptable manger. 31 games out in the East. 62-100 final record.
