Many Nats fans (and everyone around the league) are criticizing the franchise for the tremendous amount of money given to free agent Jason Werth. But the money doesn't matter, unless you're a member of the Lerner family.
Unlike in football, there's no salary cap in football. Unlike basketball, there's no luxury tax for spending too much. In baseball, there's no limit to the money paid to a club. The question is not whether Werth is worth all th emoney he's been given. It's whether he'll help the ballclub and attract more free agents.
So, as long as Werth produces and is just part of the strategy for building the team, I'm thrilled with the pick up.
