Richmond should be a Nats affiliate, but it should be AAA. I suppose there really isn't much of a difference to the giants between having an affiliate in Harrisburg v. Richmond, but Harrisburg already is pretty close to the Nats market and runs a decent franchise. They will want a presence north and west of the DC area, and if Hagerstown moves, H'burg would be it. The Nats seem to have a good relationship with Syracuse, and they have the AAA franchise while Richmond doesn't, but Syracuse is the odd ball for the Nats system, not Harrisburg. It's not possible to get a AAA team to Richmond unless some other city loses its AAA franchise or swaps for the Squirrels, but it would be the right move to have Syracuse be a Mets or other NE team affiliate and have Richmond be the Nats AAA affiliate. There'd be something good to have Charlottesville get Hagerstown, Potomac remain in the area (or F'burg), Harrisburg remain an affiliate, and have Richmond as the AAA affiliate.
