Yes, that is a strange question to ask, considering the Washington Nationals and fans were ready to move on from the Danny Espinosa era.
Consider this, unless Washington either re-signs Steven Drew or signs an experienced middle infielder via free agency, the lone player on the roster that can spell Trea Turner or Daniel Murphy is Wilmer Difo. That does not leave you with a feeling of confidence.
Difo, of course, is a capable player. In the minors, he flashed lightning speed on the bases, swiping 49 bags for Single-A Hagerstown in 2014.
