But consider the Nationals’ roster — which Martinez asserted is unlikely to change much from the National League Championship Series — and you can boil the choices down. ADADOne, the Nationals could go for modest improvements on offense and defense (utility infielder Asdrúbal Cabrera). Dozier already replaces Kendrick defensively late in games, and he would bring World Series experience to the lineup. The Nationals could therefore marginally upgrade their offense and defense instead of concentrating the boost in one area. If the Astros did use Miley, Dozier would give the Nationals the ability to match up themselves.
