The Washington Nationals early exit in the playoffs left a lot of questions on the table to be discussed for the upcoming season. I’m going to explore different options the team could take this off-season hopefully giving the Nats the proverbial “leg up” in the NL East in this upcoming campaign. There are some in-house things to take a look at first, and then some possible moves to bring in new guys. • Resign Adam LaRoche: Adam might just be the key in what the team is trying to do moving forward. Recently LaRoche declined the Nationals one year offer which now gives the Nats a draft pick if in fact LaRoche walks. If the Nats don’t resign Adam, you could always move Mike Morse back to first base but that leaves a hole in Left Field. • Is Mike Morse trade bait? Many people believe that the Nationals could in fact move away from the “Beast Mode” experience and go with a free agent or with the young and talented Tyler Moore in left field, but this all will come to light once th...

The 2012 season was really a tale of two seasons for Washington Nationals franchise third baseman Ryan Zimmerman. In the early part of the season, Zimmerman struggled mightily at the plate, and until the infamous cortisone shot on June 24, he put up a paltry .218/.285/.305 slash line.
