ABOUT THE INDEX
We've logged the Nationals' statistics in nine categories throughout the season to chart the team's progress. In addition, we track several statistics for six "rising stars" in the Nationals' farm system. Each week, we compare the raw value for each metric against the previous week's value and against its value at the end of the 2007 season, getting rates of improvement or decline. Averaging the MLB-level team values, we get a composite for the team's overall progress.
