Can Nationals' outfielder Matt den Dekker pick up where he left off?

Matt den Dekker finished strong in 2015 and he talked to reporters at last weekend's Nationals WinterFest about trying to carry that success over into 2016 when he hopes to play a bigger role with the Washington Nationals. Where does den Dekker fit?

Acquired from the New York Mets straight up for left-handed reliever Jerry Blevins last March, veteran outfielder Matt den Dekker opened the 2015 campaign on the Washington Nationals' bench, but was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse after just four games when Jayson Werth came off the Disabled List in early April.
