Exploring the Nationals' Depth

Citizens of Natstown — I've recently complained that the Nationals' lack of organizational depth is a major reason for their mediocre start to the season.Key contributors C Wilson Ramos (twice), 3B Ryan Zimmerman, RF Jayson Werth and RHP Ryan Mattheus have all gone on the disabled list while LHP Ross Detwiler and LF Bryce Harper have narrowly avoided their own stints.
