The Nats were one win away from being forced to draft Dustin Ackley... I doubt any part of their "plan" included being lucky enough to land two generational talents with back to back #1 picks.
So, are they vindicated for their losing ways? I guess... but a lot of the team's turn around came down to blind luck on who was available when it came to draft day.
Having said that... Rizzo has done a darn good job building up the staffing and development on the minor league side... so he certainly should be praised for that.
