In only his second season in the bigs Anthony Rendon sure surprised a lot of people from Washington and he was one of the reasons the Nationals captured 96 wins, the most in the bigs. Last season Rendon hit .287, 21 home runs, and 83 RBI’s.
With a healthy Rendon the Nationals are poised not only to capture another N.L East Division Crown, but they are in line to capture a World Series birth. With a rotation featuring Max Scherzer, and Stephen Strasburg it will be a treat to watch Nationals games this season, couple that with guys like Rendon and Bryce Harper in the lineup. Watch out for the Nationals as a legitatmate World Series threat.
