Riggleman didnt stand a chance for next year to begin with, I think Davey Johnson was rumored to be coming in next year anyway, so he gets a jump on things. Keep in mind 2012 is supposedly "the year" that the Nationals finally get their asses in gear given they'll have Stasburg back and probably bring Harper up by May. The fact that they aren't playing too shabby now is giving hope for that even more.
