After years spent building a rock-solid foundation, the Nationals were
rewarded for their planning and opportunistic drafting with a resoundingly
successful 2012 campaign.
They posted their first winning season since moving to Washington in 2005,
leading the majors with 98 wins, cruising to the National League East title
and snapping the franchise's 31-year postseason drought. The city embraced a
team that spent all but a handful of days atop the division, capped by the
first playoff appearance by a Washington baseball club since 1933.
But the dream season had a nightmarish finale. After splitting the first four
games of an NL Division Series against the Cardinals, the Nationals blew a
6-0 advantage in the decisive fifth game. Drew Storen failed to hold a
two-run lead with two out in the ninth, and St. Louis rallied for four runs
to complete a stunning comeback.
Still, Washington could take solace in the knowledge that it has perhaps the
best young core in baseball and looks poised to contend for championships for
years to come.
The Nationals led the National League with a 3.33 ERA in 2012, as homegrown
arms meshed with offseason acquisitions to form a deep, talented staff. They
traded four of their best prospects (Brad Peacock, A.J. Cole, Derek Norris
and Tommy Milone) to get ace lefthander Gio Gonzalez from the Athletics in
December, and he rewarded them by topping the NL with 21 wins and 9.3
strikeouts per nine innings. In his first full season back from Tommy John
surgery, Stephen Strasburg was dominant at times and would have outranked
Gonzalez with 11.1 strikeouts per nine innings—if Washington hadn't made the
controversial decision to shut him down after 159 innings.
The Nationals took the same approach with Jordan Zimmermann when he came back
from elbow reconstruction in 2011, and he responded with his best season in
2012. Another homegrown pitcher, lefty Ross Detwiler, also took a major step
forward. Free-agent signee Edwin Jackson rounded out a rotation in which all
five starters won at least 10 games.
The lineup featured more player-development success stories. Bryce Harper's
rookie season was one of the most anticipated in baseball history, and the
19-year-old phenom didn't disappoint. Called up in the late April, he earned
a trip to the All-Star Game and hit .270 with 22 homers—the second-most ever
for a big league teenager.
Beyond Harper, Ian Desmond blossomed into one of baseball's best shortstops
as a 26-year-old, validating the work of minor league instructors who spent
five long years easing him along and major league coaches who didn't give up
on him after a trying 2011 campaign. Desmond and Danny Espinosa give
Washington a pair of dynamic homegrown middle infielders to go with
cornerstone third baseman Ryan Zimmerman.
The future is bright for Washington largely because ownership, general
manager Mike Rizzo and scouting director Kris Kline have shown they aren't
afraid to take chances and spend money in the draft. After hitting the
jackpot with Strasburg and Harper as back-to-back No. 1 overall picks in
2009-10, the Nationals pounced on elite prospects who slipped because of
health questions with their next two top choices. Third baseman Anthony
Rendon (2011) and righthander Lucas Giolito (2012) now rank as the top
prospects in a system that has been thinned by graduations and trades.
