Unless the Nationals make an exorbiant offer far above the other bidders <B>AND</B> Texiera does not mind playing for a team that will not immediately contend for a title (but should be better with his bat), he will probably go to not only a big market team, but one with a "prestige" name. <BR/><BR/>However, for the sake of argument, let's say the Nationals <B>do</B> sign Texiera for the 10-year contract that Scott Boras is asking for. Would this be a stepping stone in making the Nats playoff contenders, or would it end up the way A-Rod's career in Texas went?Edward J.

Why would he come to a team so far from contention, 3-5 years.
