For the first time since the franchise arrived in Washington five years
earlier, Nationals fans had legitimate reason to be excited in 2010. The team
still finished in last place for the fifth time in six seasons since moving
from Montreal, but the anticipated arrival of top prospect Stephen Strasburg
infused Nationals Park with energy—and fans.
Strasburg, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 draft, made his major league
debut on June 8. Before that, the Nationals averaged 21,560 fans a game. They
drew more than 40,000 fans for each of his first two starts, and averaged
33,446 fans in his seven home outings.
Strasburg held up his end of the bargain, electrifying the baseball world
with 14 strikeouts over seven innings in his debut against Pittsburgh. He
continued to pitch well, going 5-3, 2.91 with 92 strikeouts in 68 innings
before his rookie season ended abruptly in August when he tore an elbow
ligament. He had Tommy John surgery that will sideline him for most if not
all of 2011.
The Nationals are optimistic Strasburg can regain his pre-surgery form, and
they hope to pair him with another phenom before too long. Washington had the
No. 1 choice for the second consecutive draft and chose 17-year-old slugger
Bryce Harper. A year after giving Strasburg a draft-record $15.1 million
major league contract, the Nationals handed Harper a $9.9 million big league
deal, the largest ever for a position player in the draft.
For the second straight year, the Nationals set a record for bonus spending.
They spent $11.51 million in 2009 and $11.93 million in 2010. In addition to
Harper, they also gave over-slot deals to A.J. Cole, Sammy Solis and Robbie
Ray last summer. Those three immediately ranked among the best starting
pitching prospects in an organization short on impact arms.
Washington's big league staff ranked 12th in the National League in runs
allowed, and among its six most regular starters, only 35-year-old Livan
Hernandez posted an ERA below 4.65. The lineup provided more reason for
optimism, albeit while finishing 14th in the NL in scoring. Franchise
cornerstone Ryan Zimmerman put together another strong season, homegrown
shortstop Ian Desmond enjoyed a solid rookie campaign and Danny Espinosa,
Desmond's double-play partner of the future, reached the big leagues in
September. Adam Dunn gave the Nationals another 38-homer season before
leaving for the White Sox via free agency.
The franchise made a huge move just before the Winter Meetings, signing free
agent Jayson Werth for seven years and $126 million—more money than it had
spent on free agents in the previous 20 years combined. General manager Mike
Rizzo said the deal signaled the start of the next phase in the club's plan,
when it plans to "really compete for division titles and championships."
The farm system remains thin in premium prospects, but Rizzo did pick up one
of the minors' top catchers in Wilson Ramos when he traded all-star Matt
Capps to the Twins in July. The Nationals' Latin American operations have
yielded little fruit in recent years, but second-year international director
Johnny DiPuglia did make a splash two days later with the signing of Cuban
defector Yunesky Maya. Maya reached the big leagues six weeks after signing a
$7.4 million contract.
