Davey Johnson believes that the Nationals have the talent and poise to win the 2012 National League pennant. "As a baseball man, I look at the potential, the upside of everybody," Johnson told Sirius XM's Chris Russo. "If we just play to our potential -- we don't have to play over it. If guys start doing things I know they're capable of doing, I think we can win the pennant." Johnson has also said that Washington should fire him if the team doesn't make the postseason.
