Where Nats ranked in '11

The Nationals won 80 games, which is an improvement that makes most Nationals fans feel a sense of something special could be in the making. But did they compare to the other teams stats wise?

Well, the Nats were 24th in runs scored but 15th in home runs hit.

Mark Zuckerman of CSN Washington takes a look at how the Nats did here and goes into what they need: Where Nats ranked in '11

Here is an excerpt: "But let's dig a bit deeper. Offensively, they did OK hitting for power, right in the middle of the pack. And, despite the claims of Mike Rizzo and Davey Johnson, they didn't perform appreciably worse in clutch situations than they did in any other situation (they ranked 27th in the majors in overall batting average and in batting average with runners in scoring position)."
