Washington Nationals History

2013:
After three years at the helm, Jake decided to go out on top.  The 2012 season was a brilliant campaign, but his activity at Nats Park waned in 2013.  This led to the Nationals being one of the worst teams in April.  Ownership sought out a new GM and Eric appeared to be the right man for the job focused on sustainable success.

2012: NL East Champs (93-69)
Washington had 36 more wins in 2012 than they had in 2011 as the most improved team.  Jake won the GM of the Year award as the Nationals won the NL East, beat the Cardinals in the NL East, and fell just short of making it to the World Series.  Names like Adam Dunn, Buster Posey, and Jose Bautista were all involved in this winning effort.

2011: 5th in NL East (57-105)
At one point, the Nats had one of the best farm systems in the bigs.  At the end of the season, they had Jose Bautista and Alex Rodriguez.  The future is uncertain for a franchise that has little cap room and little depth.  All that we know is that they don't want to repeat 2011.

2010: 3rd in NL East (74-88)
Thomas Avellino took over the helm in January, but was inactive after taking office and was let go two months later.  Original Angels GM, Jake Douglas, decided to take on the challenge of the Nationals front office later that day.  Jake picked up a few wins here and there and acquired Zack Greinke (who was with the Royals, Phillies, and Angels previously that season) for an excellent 1-2 SP punch with Strasburg.  Unfortunately, like the real-life Nats, Strasburg went down with Tommy John surgery that summer and crushed some hopes of this franchise.  Either way, the team finished with a brighter future.

2009: 4th in NL East (71-91)
The Nats did better than expected as compared to the real life Nationals who were almost the worst team ever.  Of course, when you take out the first three months of the season, that is what happens.  The real life Nationals played like a losing club in the 2nd half, but not a historically losing club.  GM Scott Johnson did little to improve the team headed into 2010.
