Its too bad because the offense is ranked pretty high in the NL in many categories (AVG, OBP, HRs).  If the Nationals had, at the minimum, a mediocre bullpen, they would be playing .500 ball.   
  
By adding Strasburg, I think the Nats would have one the brightest young pitching staffs....maybe even the best as far as potential goes.
