Nationals need to get busy this off season
Bryce Harper proved he is a gamer and clutch player in the playoffs and the Nationals have a golden opportunity here to chase down a world series championship. They got some good pieces however I think they should make the following moves.
They need to sign free agent Victor Martinez and put him at 1B. This guy hit for average and power and struck out at average rate of only 1 out of every 15 at bats. (A League best)
Then I would trade Adam LaRoche for some bullpen help. Maybe they could trade him to Kansas City for Kelvin Herrera or possibly Nationals could do Laroche and a prospect for Wade Davis and Luke Hocheaver.
Also the Nationals gotta sign Jon Lester. Lester is the proven ace they need that group of young pitchers. Strasburg can't be your #1 and win a World Series IMO.
He is good but you need a more veteran ace that you can really count on.
1. Lester
2. Fister
3. Zimmerman
4. Strasburg
5. Gio Gonzalez
Thats what the rotation should look like. But they gotta add a serious bat , some bullpen help, and a top of the rotation guy.
