Doug Fister believes the Washington Nationals have the best rotation in baseball.

Fister, who was traded to the Nationals this offseason, believes the club has the edge over his former team, the Detroit Tigers.

"I've certainly been blessed to be a part of some teams and rotations I've been with," Fister said. "I think here we are just as good, if not better."

Fister will be joining a rotation that includes Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez and Jordan Zimmermann.
