    Andrelton Simmons is NOT an elite player. He could be if his offense is ever worth a shit, but he's not. Freeman could be, but so could harper (to use dawg61's rationale), and Harper has a higher ceiling. Closer is probably the least important spot on the team to have an elite guy.

    Btw what SS was ahead of Simmons with the 2nd best WAR among SSs last season? Yeah just that "good" player Ian Desmond. He also finished 2nd in WAR among SSs in 2012. I think the nats will be ok with that, whether anyone wants to consider it "elite" or just "good".

    The point isn't to bash the braves, the point is that none of his rationale for hating on the nats makes any sense whatsoever and could easily be applied to almost every other team out there.
