Welcome

Hello, and welcome to my blog Waiting for 2012.

I suppose I should start by explaining the name. Well, 2012 is the year that the Nats 2 first round draft picks, Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper, will be in the majors. It's been a soso winter meetings for the Nats, with only getting one player Jayson Werth from the Philles, but the Philles made up for it by getting Cliff Lee.

This year will be another tough year for the Nats - still in search for a first baseman because of Adam Dunn's departure and losing streaky player Josh Willingham. The Nats have things to work on but they made it pretty tough by giving Werth $126 million.

The big problem for the Nats is pitching. They had 2 players that they should have gone after more, but did not: Lee and Zack Grienke who are both now in the National League and Lee is in our division. The Nats don't have a good opening day starter. With their best bet Livo, who pitches in the mid 80s, it might be a tough year. One that will leave us waiting for 2012.
