Washington Nationals
This team is really improving. They picked up some nice pieces this year: Kennedy, Pudge, etc. Provided Wang and Olsen can stay healthy, they'll have a decent rotation that includes Marquis and Lannon. They will be tougher.
They did make a strange move, however, in cutting Elijah Dukes. They say it was NOT for off-field reasons, but why would you cut him for on-field reasons? He's not the best fielder, but the kid had one sub-par year at the plate last year. He's only 25. Strange. One of my favorite bloggers, Ted Berg, did tweet this about the move:

Warning to Nats: If you cut Elijah Dukes, there's a pretty good chance he'll cut you right back.
