Chris Marrero Born: 7/2/1988 Ht. 6’3″ Wt. 210 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats |
Injured in Winter Ball, reports vary as to when he’ll return. Likely to spend time in Syracuse proving he’s healthy given the club’s committment to 1B Adam LaRoche and the option of Michael Morse. The scouts keep touting the “plus raw power” but the proof remains elusive. He has little left to prove in the minors, but may have to go elsewhere to get another shot in MLB. |

Tyler Moore Born: 1/30/1987 Ht. 6’2″ Wt. 185 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats |
The 2011 season was Moore’s retort that his monster 2010 second half was a fluke. But he’s still turning 25 in 2012 and yet to prove himself at AAA. Doesn’t walk much, does strike out a lot, has never played away from 1B. There’s talk of him moving to LF, but even club officials admit via BA he has below-average range and speed. |

Steve Souza Born: 4/24/1989 Ht. 6’3″ Wt. 205 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats |
Following a PED suspension that cut short 2010, Souza came to Potomac to banish that ghost as well as learn a new position. Showed flashes of power early (9HR in Apr/ May), but then went weeks without going deep, finishing with just 11HR. Nearly doubled his walk rate from ’10 to ’11, now needs to pick his spots to attack. |

Justin Miller Born: 11/28/1988 Ht. 6′ Wt. 180 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats |
A 2010 draftee that repeated the NYPL, Miller put up a strong .299/.361/.498 line that got him onto the Top 5 Position Players for the Doubledays and onto our radar. Likely to begin 2012 at Hagerstown but will have to start strong to silence the “too old” whispers. |

Arialdi Peguero Born: 9/15/92 Ht. 6’3″ Wt. 195 Bats: L Throws: R Career Stats |
One of the 16 IFAs that the Nationals trumpeted in Feb. 2011 that struggled some in his first pro season as an 18- y.o., but was invited to the FIL this past Sept. — a sign he might spend 2012 in the GCL. |

Jose Marmolejos-Diaz Born: 1/2/93 Ht. 6’1″ Wt. 195 Bats: L Throws: L Career Stats |
Even younger than Peguero, Marmolejos- Diaz started 50 of 69 DSL games at 1B and put up a GPA that was just .008 lower than the league average as an 18-y.o. Made just seven errors for a .982 FA |
