Washington Nationals: Victor Robles deserves playoff spot

In a sport where every action is analyzed to death, the Washington Nationals might make a postseason roster decision purely on instinct and a roll of the dice.

For anyone watching Victor Robles over the weekend as the Nats handled the New York Mets in Queens, you know he is ready for the big show. His instincts are already at a veteran level.

Whether he swings the bat this October is irrelevant. There will be an element of surprise with him, but Robles has never faced pitching as strong as what the National League offers.
