Through 57 games this season the Washington Nationals have been very solid at all facets of the game. The starting pitching has been very good, the offense, although inconsistent, has been solid at times, and the bullpen has been good enough, but not great. If the Nats are going to make a serious run in the playoffs, they will need to upgrade their bullpen in some way.
The Nats will face their first tough question about the bullpen very soon. Veteran Matt Belisle will be ready to come back from injury soon, and come back to the Major Leagues.
