Why Alex White?
I'll settle for Grant Green. Him and Zim will make up our left side of the infield for years to come.

Naturally, both would be good, But I think the Nats most pressing needs are an ace pitcher, which Alex White very well may be, he has velocity, a nasty slider, Ks, the works. He's just been overshadowed by Strasburg.
Maybe we'll luck out, and the Mariners will take a hitter and leave Strasburg to us.
I can dream.
