Wilkie hopes to find doors opening in Washington

Josh Wilkie hopes one day to ride the Metro to work, just like you and me. He'd like to hop on the Orange Line at Foggy Bottom, head to L'Enfant Plaza and then take the Green Line straight to his office. There's where his commute would differ from ours. His office would be the pitching mound at Nationals Park.

He's so close. If anything, Wilkie, 25, has overachieved. The right-handed pitcher was an undrafted free agent out of George Washington University, signed by the Nats in 2006. He worked his way through every stop in their minor league system until reaching Class AAA Syracuse, just one phone call short of the big league roster, and he was one of seven Nationals prospects chosen to participate in the prestigious Arizona Fall League.
