My Nationals are a beast?

Even though they kinda blow, the nationals are having a decent season by their standards. They have good young players in Ian Desmond and Danny Espinosa and Ryan Zimmerman is only 26 and he is a productive player. Also when Stephen Strasburg comes back from Tommy John Surgery, he'll be a beast and Bryce Harper has potential to be a Ken Griffey Jr. type player, although his ego could turn him into a bust. Jayson Werth proved that any player can go any where and maybe in the next 3 years, a legit ace will sign with them. In the next 5 years, can you see the Nationals becoming a legit contender?
