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.

...Now analysts and commentators point to 2013 as "the year", since Strasburg will be coming back from Tommy John Surgery, so the Nationals will be careful with him, protect him, etc (not too many innings), and Harper now looks like he will be brought up after the All Star Game...

...that's what Jayson Stark said, anyway...Buster Olney too.
