The future is beginning to look like a full ballpark and talent on the field that could be a once-in-a-generation experience, much like the late 1990s Yankees Dynasty, with the Nats winning multiple championships, a team like this proposed dynasty could theoretically do as well as the 1998 Yankees or 1997 Braves, who won 114 and 101 games, respectively, at least on paper. This hypothetical starting rotation would be one of the most ferocious in baseball, and their offense would be top-notch, as well, and this assumes that the Nats add two free-agent pitchers, Matt Cain and Cole Hamels in 2013, without upgrading anything else. This is possible, as neither player would likely command as much money as Prince Fielder did in the 2011-2012 offseason, and the Nationals were perfectly capable of signing Fielder, they just weren't fast enough. If this comes to pass, the Nationals could well be on their way to a World Series championship, beating out the Phillies in the NL East, who are starting to decline with age. The Nationals, within the coming years, may become the new team to beat, and are ripe with young players and talent. Keep an eye on this one. What I'd like to see is this:

WS 2013: Yankees (100+ wins) vs. Nationals (100+ wins) That would be the biggest clash of the titans in baseball history. it could happen too.
