  • The one true ace
The Nationals finished 17 games behind the Phillies.  Wheeler is joined by...well, some weirdo who just won the MVP, for starters.

The Braves just won the World Series.

Kris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber, and a team that lost 97 games is not going to cut it.

Granted, it would be more than just adding those guys.  It’s likely that there’s some level of improvement among Robles/Garcia/kieboom.  Plus maturation from our young pitchers gray/Adon, the strong likelihood that at least one of cavalli or Henry will debut next year in some capacity, and we can see if Rogers or Espino prove something. 

This doesn’t even factor in bullpen natural improvement, the 90% chance that strasburg and Corbin contribute more this year (it wouldn’t take much), or the fact that we get full seasons of lane and Keibert who have shown already had success at the major league level and have shown no reason to doubt them. 

We’re closer than people think.  Next year is possible if rizzo is smart this offseason.  One biggish bat and a couple Harrison/Flores/Rosario/Villar type guys
