Sickels Alert!

For the real diehards, John Sickels has opened the floor to discussing the Washington Nationals farm system. I’ve already weighed in on my “sleepers,” but feel free to join in and check things out. If you must mention this site, by all means, do so ;-)

About Luke Erickson

Luke Erickson is a season-ticket holder for the Potomac Nationals, but makes a point of seeing games in Hagerstown and Harrisburg at least once a summer. When the PNats are away on the weekend, Luke finds a minor-league game somewhere to watch, and generally attends 70-80 baseball games a year up across several states. A former sportswriter with newspapers in Massachusetts and Oregon, Luke lives in Western Fairfax County with his wife and two sons.

    Iced out on commenting (for now – darned internal registration), but your list of “sleepers” went yard, in my book. Well played.

    Definitely interested in seeing his comments on our system. Our systems much deeper but I think we’re still at least one more draft away from having a real good looking top 10. By this I mean no guys on there who have a ceiling of bench players, fourth outfielders, or reliever(non-closer).

    Just checked in with the discussion. Your sleepers are definitely solid on low minors in my estimation. Burgess isn’t getting but so much respect. I guess he’s fallen some in the AFL competition just as Norris has risen some.

    Sue good reply with sleepers. I really like Manno the lefty from Duke. I know at some point Mel will kick in , but seriously the lefty from Duke is going to make some noise next season. I hope the Nats brass recognizes the talent

    One of my commenters mentioned to me offline that the value with Sickels’s discussions is to see what people outside our little bubble think. My hope in posting that list was to get some play and some perspective.
