In some seasons, 99 losses would be enough. But this season, the 102 loss Nationals get the first draft pick.
But #1 picks have an uneven history. You have A-Rod, but you also have Brien Taylor and Bryan Bullington.
Brad Ausmus returns home to San Diego. Looks like he's retired from a pretty solid career.
