Now that we're the clear favorite in the NL we need this money more than ever. This team as it stands can't beat the Yanks or Rangers, but we're not that far off, we need to find a good player and replace them with a great player or at least make a couple marginal improvements if we really want to contend. Don't get fooled by the mystical "window of opportunity", the future is now.
I've been of the opinion for some time that 2012 is indeed our window of opporunity - before the deep-pocketed Braves, Mets and Phillies drop their wallets on us and restore the
status quo ante. I'd really like to see the Nats make the most of it...right here, right now.
