[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 683340, member: 2843"] Yep... funny how similar our situations are... to the point both teams couldn't (or didn't want to) land JD. Here is Nationals WS (no DH) lineup: Turner SS Eaton RF Rendon 3B Soto LF Kendrick 2B Zimmerman 1B Robles CF Gomes C Assuming Zimmerman will get signed... Rendon is only guy gone. Yes...HUGE hole to fill. Nobody available to "replace" Rendon, but lineup may still be ok. Soto has all the signs of becoming a legend (MVP potential). Most intriguing thing on him will be how he can produce with no Rendon to "protect" him. Rendon gone is one less guy to pitch around... & Soto becomes that guy. Good news is Soto's plate discipline is outstanding & assuming he stays patient, he'll get on base & get chances to do damage if guys do get on in front of him. Biggest concern would be depth because Zim, Hendrick, Cabrera just can't play every day. But Rizzo has addressed that. Next you just worry about production dropping off across the board...older guys decline (usually). Will that happen to all of them? Who knows? Same can be said about the high-dollar starting pitching. I'm a half-full guy...so, I'll assume Nationals have a solid roster & disaster can't/won't hit across board... certainly expect a post season worthy record. [/QUOTE]
