No Depth

Nick Johnson homered to put the Nationals up 1-0 on the Braves. It's Johnson's 23rd home run of the year, and with a .430 OBA and a .527 slugging percentage, he's having a fine year. The Nationals employee three players who already earned 20 win shares or more; Soriano, Johnson and Zimmerman. But no one else has more than 10. It's a great example of a team doing a good job of putting three stars on the field, but not surrounding them with enough competent players to allow them to win. Compare that to the Cardinals, for example.
