Nationals' Harper, Strasburg have zero playoff series wins (Yahoo Sports)

With Dusty Baker entering his second season as Washington's manager, and standouts such as Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer, MVP runner-up Daniel Murphy and Rookie of the Year runner-up Trea Turner on the roster, the expectations _ internal and external _ are high, once again, for the Nationals.

Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg will forever be linked as consecutive No. 1 overall draft picks who were supposed to become the superstars that would lead the Washington Nationals to a World Series championship. Well, the club in the nation's capital is still waiting to win one postseason series with that pair. If Washington is going to avoid its recent pattern of missing the playoffs a year after making them, the defending NL East champs could use big contributions from Harper and Strasburg in 2017.
