Would Harper & Strasburg Have Saved the Expos?

It looks as though the Nationals are "finally" going to make the playoffs for the first time since 1981 if you still want to linked them with the Montreal Expos.

After being awful since they left Montreal, the team has built a nice young core through the draft led by Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper.


Would things have been different if this had happened 10 years ago? Tough to say since the Expos had many young players in the 90s and early 2000s...but it's fun to wonder what might have been if Harper was wearing an Expos hat in Montreal currently.
