30 teams in 60 days of quarantine: Washington Nationals fantasy preview

This series of fantasy baseball articles was intended to be something to pass the 30 days without DFS. Well, it looks like the wait will be much longer. The commissioner has stated that there will be baseball this year. As for when? That’s anyone’s guess.

Most of you, like me, have played DFS for quite some time. We have never seen anything like this before. A bare lobby. No upcoming contests. E-Sports touts are in hog heaven. Even most DFS touts are trying to become E-Sports touts. It’s nuts!

Most of you, also like me, still play season-long fantasy baseball. Some for money. Some not. Some just because it’s the only interaction you have with some friends anymore. Whatever the case, we can use this break in DFS to get us polished up for our fantasy baseball drafts, whenever those may be. We started at the bottom and are slowly moving up. The Washington Nationals won the World Series last year, but were tied for 8th in wins with 93.

Things look a little different for the Nationals this year. They have to find a way to replace the production of Anthony Rendon in the middle of the order. Having Rendon out of here could result in better RBI numbers for others.

Here we will examine the Washington Nationals projected lineup and rotation, and who to draft and in what general spot. We will also take a look at prospects that could make their debuts and have a fantasy impact in 2020. The 2019 stats are in parentheses. Let’s get started!
