The tide is turning in Washington. The Nationals reached the 80-victory
plateau in 2011 for the first time in six years and placed third in the
National League East, their highest finish since the 2002 Expos landed in
second. And with a once-barren farm system now bursting with talent, the
franchise's future seems even brighter.
Back-to-back 59-win seasons in 2008 and 2009 gave the Nationals the No. 1
overall pick in consecutive drafts, and they used those picks on cornerstone
players Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper. Washington set a record by
spending $11.5 million on draft bonuses in 2009, then topped that mark with
$11.9 million in 2010.
The Nationals once again were opportunistic and aggressive in the 2011 draft,
landing Baseball America's top-ranked prospect for the third straight year
when third baseman Anthony Rendon slid to them as the No. 6 choice.
Washington then doled out huge bonuses to their next three selections:
righthander Alex Meyer ($2 million), outfielder Brian Goodwin ($3 million)
and lefty Matt Purke ($2.75 million).
The Nats paid out a total $15 million on bonuses, and though they yielded
that record to the Pirates ($17 million), they outspent Pittsburgh when the
additional $2.6 million in guarantees in big league contracts for Rendon and
Purke are considered. (The overall draft expenditure record remains $19.1
million by Washington in 2009, $15.1 million of which was a major league deal
for Strasburg). Most important, the spending spree earned the Nationals the
designation of BA's top-rated draft and further solidified their talent
foundation.
Strasburg and Harper continued to generate incredible excitement in
Washington and around baseball in 2011. Strasburg returned from Tommy John
surgery to go 1-1, 1.50 with 24 strikeouts and two walks in 24 innings over
five September starts, showing the same electrifying stuff he displayed
before injuring his elbow in the summer of 2010. Harper took the low Class A
South Atlantic League by storm as an 18-year-old, posting a .977 OPS to earn
a two-level promotion to Double-A Harrisburg, where he held his own against
much older competition.
The organization enjoyed a strong developmental year from top to bottom, with
upper-level prospects such as Brad Peacock, Tom Milone and Steve Lombardozzi
breaking through to the big leagues, and lower-level prospects like A.J.
Cole, Sammy Solis and Destin Hood showing nice progress. Peacock, in
particular, was a revelation, emerging as one of the most exciting power arms
in the high minors before a brilliant three-appearance cameo in Washington.
The parent Nationals' improvement was driven by the emergence of young
up-the-middle talents Wilson Ramos and Danny Espinosa into quality regulars.
After Adam Dunn departed in the offseason, Michael Morse took over at first
base and led the team with 31 homers. He ultimately was more effective than
$126 million free-agent acquisition Jayson Werth, who hit .232/.330/.389
while adding 20 homers.
The pitching staff also climbed from 11th in the NL in ERA in 2010 to sixth
in 2011, led by blossoming Jordan Zimmermann and steady John Lannan in the
rotation, and the dynamic duo of Drew Storen and Tyler Clippard in the
bullpen. The Nationals' homegrown talent is beginning to make its mark in the
big leagues—and plenty more is on the way.
