Daniel Murphy only played two-and-a-half seasons with the Washington Nationals, which came after a long run with the New York Mets where he was poised to be a star in Gotham.

Anthony Rendon came with a lot of expectations and how could he not be?  The former Dick Howser Trophy winner from Rice University was drafted sixth overall in 2011 and he has proven to be a balanced player for the Nationals as of this writing.

Max Scherzer had only been with the Washington Nationals for four seasons and he did something that we thought either Bryce Harper or Stephen Strasburg would do first when we began this list.  He is the first player who competed in Washington and not Montreal to be in the top five in franchise history.

Vincent Jackson may not have been considered one of the elite Wide Receivers of his time, but the wideout was certainly one of the most dynamic and explosive of his time.
