Good lede:<\/p>\n

VIERA, Fla. Washington finally has its first truly serious baseball franchise since the 1930s.<\/p>\n

You have to be as old as Ted Lerner, the 82-year-old boss of the Nationals, to remember the last time Washington had a big league team that was a serious annual contender, a legitimate front-line franchise, a club that fought toe-to-toe with the very best. But that time is probably arriving again and perhaps fairly soon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Boswell cites Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus as sources for this optimism.<\/p>\n
