Coming off a franchise-first World Series the Washington Nationals saw a great deal of turnover, losing franchise cornerstone 3rd baseman Anthony Rendon among others to free agency. The team signed several sketchy part-time solutions for third while hoping that Rookie hotshot Carter Kieboom will eventually fill the job. Steven Strasburg was re-signed to a borderline insane contract and the team looks to have the best starting pitching in the league.Washington Nationals

The hole Rendon leaves in the lineup is noticeable here as so far the team brass maintain that Cabrera and Kendrick and Castro will serve at both 2nd and 3rd to start the year.
