"We're going to be really open-minded [on offseason signings]. I don't think you can ever have enough pitching. We'll be open-minded at the first base position, and potentially at the catching position. We're going to see how it plays out, and what opportunities present themselves."
"The lowest WAR totals are pitching, first base (Luis Garcia Jr.), and catcher (Drew Millas). Add up all of the team's neg WAR in total is -4.3. Suffice it to say, that is not good at all."
"The bullpen ERA opens today at 4.90. There are seven teams worse than the Nats in bullpen ERA. But the Nats are the worst in blown saves at 10."
As of May 1st, the Washington Nationals are in 3rd place in the NL East, just 2 games under .500. The team has significant weaknesses in pitching, first base, and catcher, which were identified as areas for improvement by President of Baseball Operations Paul Toboni during the offseason. Despite efforts to upgrade the starting rotation, the bullpen has weakened, and the team has the worst record in blown saves. Overall, the team's performance reflects a negative WAR total of -4.3.
