http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/washington-nationals-top-10-prospects/ Coming off a 2014 season that saw the Nationals win a National League-best 96 games and an offseason that added another ace to their rotation, expectations in Washington were high entering the 2015 season. The Nationals were World Series favorites thanks to a loaded rotation fronted by Max Scherzer and a powerful lineup led by Bryce Harper. 2014年国民赢得国联最佳96胜，季後又追加一张ACE ；以Scherzer挂头牌的轮值加上 Harper带领的强力打线，国民曾是最被看好能够进军WS的球队。 They started the season slowly and found themselves in fourth place in the NL East, five games behind the Mets, at the end of April. They eventually hit their stride and were in first place going into August, but they slid down the stretch. Washington went 29-32 over the final two months of the season, finished with just 83 wins and missed the playoffs by seven games. 球队开季起步缓慢而且落居分区第四，四月底时甚至落後龙头梅子五场。不过还是能 大幅加速，进入八月时名列分区第一。接着一路滑到季末，最後两个月仅打出 29-32 ，只拿到83胜而且以七场胜差被踢出季後赛名单之外。 Several key Nationals spent significant parts of the season on the disabled list. Third baseman Anthony Rendon, center fielder Denard Span, left fielder Jayson Werth and first baseman Ryan Zimmerman all played fewer than 100 games. Righthanders Doug Fister, Drew Storen and Stephen Strasburg all spent time on the DL, too. 好几个阵中重要成员都耗费许多时间去躺伤兵名单。三垒手Rendon、中外野Span、左 外野Werth 与一垒手Zimmerman这几个人的出赛都少於100场；右投Fister、Storen与 Strasburg也都进过伤兵名单。 Matt Williams, the NL manager of the year in 2014, was criticized for many of the team’s failings throughout the year. He was fired following the completion of the season. 去年国联最佳总教练Matt Williams 因为球队的各种不振饱受批评，正规球季结束後 即遭开除。 Despite the disappointing results, it wasn’t all doom and gloom for the Nationals. Harper earned the BA Major League Player of the Year Award after hitting .330/.460/.649 with a league-leading 42 home runs and 118 runs. He compiled 9.9 wins above replacement, which was highest the highest total in the NL since Barry Bonds in 2004. Scherzer, for his part, lived up to his seven- year, $210 million deal. He became the sixth pitcher in history to throw two no -hitters in the same year. 即便战绩令人失望也并非所有人都一无是处。Harper赢得BA年度最佳球员，他打出三 围.330/.460./649，42轰及跑回118分都是国联最多。最终缴出9.9 WAR，是2004年的 Barry Bonds 以来国联最佳。至於签下七年210M的Scherzer则成为史上第六个单季投 出两场无安打比赛的投手。 Harper and Scherzer should remain the Nationals’ cornerstones for the foreseeable future, and all the injuries created opportunities for young players. Center fielder Michael Taylor graduated to the major leagues. Righthander Joe Ross and shortstop Trea Turner, who came from the Padres in a three-team offseason deal, made their big league debuts in 2015 and will figure prominently into future plans. 在可预见的将来Harper与Scherzer仍将是球队基石，老将们的伤病也会为年轻球员带 来机会。Michael Taylor已经卡进中外野，季前经三方交易自教士转队的右投Joe Ross 与游击Trea Turner都已於今年初次亮相，也会是未来计画中的重要成员。 Further down in the system, righthander Lucas Giolito, the team’s top pick in the 2012 draft, has developed into one of the top pitching prospects in the game as he continues to get further removed from Tommy John surgery. Righthander Erick Fedde, the team’s first-rounder in 2014, pitched well in his pro debut, as he too returns from Tommy John surgery. And outfielder Victor Robles broke out in his U.S. debut, showing five-tool potential as an 18-year- old. 更进一步看农场系统里还有2012年第一指名右投Lucas Giolito ，TJ术後不断进步也 被培养为最好的投手新秀之一；同为TJ过的右投Erick Fedde 则是2014年第一指名， 职业debut表现不错。外野手Victor Robles首度於北美出赛也技惊四座，才18岁就展 现five-tool的潜力。 The Nationals system has been top-heavy in recent years, but a greater depth began to show in 2015. While the big league team may have disappointed, the player-development team, led by assistant general manager Doug Harris, farm director Mark Scialabba and scouting director Kris Kline, has the organization well positioned for the future. 国民农场系统近几年来头重脚轻，但今年深度开始浮现。就算国民本身表现糟糕，由 GM特助Doug Harris 、农场主任Mark Scialabba与球探部主任Kris Kline率领的球员 培养团队也已帮球队打稳未来的基础。 --
