As you'll see below, the stadium honors the city's long history, which dates back to the 1880s. To the left (or above if you're viewing this on your mobile device), is
- [2023: Binghamton Rumble Ponies](https://nationalsprospects.com/road-trips/2023-binghamton-rumble-ponies/) - While not the oldest park in the Eastern League – that would be Reading's – Mirabito Stadium certainly looks like it's due for some upgrades... ...besides the ones done when the team rebranded itself as the Rumble Ponies in 2017 and up-to-code stuff in 2021. Renovations reportedly began in 2024, but recent stadium reviews did
- [2023: Erie Seawolves](https://nationalsprospects.com/road-trips/2023-erie-seawolves/) - Known as Jerry Uht Park when it was built in 1995, UPMC Park is the smallest in the Eastern League with a listed capacity of 6,000, though Mirabito Stadium in Binghamton (6,012) and FNB Field in Harrisburg (6,187) aren't much bigger.Part of what makes it feel small is its downtown location combined with no berm
- [2023: Altoona Curve](https://nationalsprospects.com/road-trips/2023-altoona-curve/) - There's something about this park that reminds me of the old Lenny Bruce joke about small towns and Civil War cannons. That's probably not fair because PNG field is a perfectly fine field with usual amenities: outfield berm, play area for the kids, etc. But for me all I can remember is the Skyliner Rollercoaster,

As a (mostly) one-man operation, primarily working in the early mornings before I head off to work, I often have little-to-no time for QA. Mistakes happen. As a joke, I blamed a typo on my
- [Too Old For The Level?](https://nationalsprospects.com/too-old-for-the-level/) - This subject has been broached a lot lately, so with the help of Brian Oliver, here's a chart of ideal ages for each level. 16-19 — DSL (Yes, occasionally some 19-20-y.o.'s will make it north of FL, but that's usually pitchers) 19-21 — FCL (HSers and international guys with a 1-3 years of experience) 20-22
- [Middle Infielders](https://nationalsprospects.com/2024-watchlist-and-player-reports/middle-infielders/) - Darren Baker Born: 2/11/99 Ht. 6' Wt. 180 Bats: L Throws: R Career Stats Baker has steadily climbed the ladder since being taken in the 10th Rd. of the 2021 Draft, which is more in line with the Nats' fetish for legacies than his being Dusty's son. Baker spent all of '23 at AAA,
- [Notable Bats](https://nationalsprospects.com/2024-watchlist-and-player-reports/notable-bats/) - After a hiatus, the tenth edition of this collection of old, on the cusp, and/or longtime players returns. Jacob Young joins the short list of four notable bats to make an MLB roster, joining Brian Goodwin, Spencer Kieboom, and some schlub named Juan Soto. So is there a fifth among this list, or did I
- [Notable Arms](https://nationalsprospects.com/2024-watchlist-and-player-reports/notable-arms/) - Here we go with the tenth essay about the talked-about arms, with one, um, notable exception, tend to skew older. Unfortunately, this is often a last hurrah for most guys. For every Jackson Rutledge, who not only pitched his way back to the regular category, but made his MLB debut, there are several guys who

After posting a .528 OPS after he was
- [DSL Guys](https://nationalsprospects.com/2024-watchlist-and-player-reports/dsl-guys/) - For the first time in more than a decade, we're combining the DSL's best players into a single category. Unfortunately, this is mostly a function of the 2023 DSL team finishing dead last at 11-39 and dead last on offense. The best thing you could say about this team is they were young, which is
- [Rule 5 Picks](https://nationalsprospects.com/2024-watchlist-and-player-reports/rule-5-picks/) - It's hard to believe that this is the first time there's been a page like this. Perhaps it's because early on, Rule 5 guys were included with the regulars. But with the Nats becoming more active since the rebuild began in 2021, taking two in the MLB phase in 2022 and 2023 after going more

He was added to the 40-man, which isn't necessarily much more than Rule 5 Draft protection. The CW is
- [RHPs](https://nationalsprospects.com/2024-watchlist-and-player-reports/rhps/) - Jackson Rutledge Born: 4/1/99 Ht. 6'8" Wt. 251 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats Some @sshole attributed Rutledge's 2022 to his being old for the level vs. a righting of the ship, enough to drop him from the 2023 Watchlist. Well, Rutledge proved him wrong as he turned in 12 strong starts at AA, then
- [M*A*S*H](https://nationalsprospects.com/2024-watchlist-and-player-reports/mash/) - This is the fifth time this category has appeared in the fourteen watchlists in this site's history, but the first time it's appeared in back-to-back years. Let's review how the 2023 Unit fared: LHP Evan Lee Lee threw 22⅓ ineffective innings for Harrisburg from April to June before going in the 7-Day I.L. for the

He appeared to be ticketed towards closing out '23 in AAA but instead got the unexpected callup to

Back injuries are known to sap power, but the 20-y.o. slugged .497 with 12HR in carefully

He'e never hit for power and probably never
- [Notables](https://nationalsprospects.com/2023-watchlist-and-player-reports/notables/) - These are the players who may be considered omissions or have some notoriety. However, the true reason is they're about to age out of prospect viability.
- [DSL Bats](https://nationalsprospects.com/2023-watchlist-and-player-reports/dsl-bats/) - These were the very best position players for the Washington Nationals' Dominican Summer League team in 2022.

He was called up in late August and made one start against the Reds before getting shut down with
- [2022 Draft Picks](https://nationalsprospects.com/2023-watchlist-and-player-reports/2022-draft-picks/) - With the new CBA effectively delaying the starts of many draft picks—many of the draft picks either start late (Brady House) or not at all (Jake Bennett).
- [LHPs](https://nationalsprospects.com/2023-watchlist-and-player-reports/lhps/) - Matt Cronin Born: 9/20/97 Ht. 6'2" Wt. 197 Bats: L Throws: L Career Stats After another two-level season in '22, the 25-y.o. southpaw was added to the 40-man roster and would seem poised to make his MLB debut in '23. Works primarily with a low-90s FB, but has the rest of the classic arsenal
- [M*A*S*H](https://nationalsprospects.com/2023-watchlist-and-player-reports/mash/) - One of the annoying things about the Nats is their proclivity to gamble on injured players to recover while simultaneously being unable to keep players healthy.
- [Outfielders](https://nationalsprospects.com/2023-watchlist-and-player-reports/outfielders/) - Robert Hassell Born: 8/15/01 Ht. 6'2" Wt. 195 Bats: L Throws: L Career Stats One of the key players acquired in the Juan Soto trade, Hassell was drafted 8th overall in 2020 by the Padres and has risen from Low-A to AA in just two pro seasons.

- [Third Basemen](https://nationalsprospects.com/2023-watchlist-and-player-reports/third-basemen/) - These are the top third basemen to watch in the Washington Nationals minor leagues.
- [Middle Infielders](https://nationalsprospects.com/2023-watchlist-and-player-reports/middle-infielders/) - The Washington Nationals don't have many middle infielders who are both healthy and true prospects. But perhaps the next wave from the DSL will help.
- [First Basemen](https://nationalsprospects.com/2023-watchlist-and-player-reports/first-basemen/) - These are the most notable first basemen in the Nationals minors for 2023.
- [2022: Charleston Riverdogs](https://nationalsprospects.com/road-trips/2022-charleston-riverdogs/) - This is the farthest south I have driven on one of my road trips. The new six-game homestands also make this harder to pull off. In years past, I may have been able, for example, to hit all the SC teams in a given week, thus requiring only one or two long days of driving.

- [2022 Watchlist and Player Reports](https://nationalsprospects.com/2022-watchlist-and-player-reports/) - For better or worse, we have a full-fledged, new Watchlist for 2022, thanks to an almost-full season and an almost-entire Draft (pay no attention to most of them not playing until mid-August for reasons still not understood or explained). Alas, the number of players I've seen play in person has dropped dramatically (50-70 games to
- [2021: High Point Rockers](https://nationalsprospects.com/road-trips/2021-high-point-rockers/) - In one of the oddest moments in stadium history, the city of Bridgeport, CT voted to end its relationship with the Bluefish after 20 seasons (1998-2017) in favor of converting The Ballpark at Harbor Yard into an outdoor concert venue. The Atlantic League moved the franchise to High Point, NC in 2018 and opened up
- [2021: Pulaski River Turtles](https://nationalsprospects.com/road-trips/2021-pulaski-river-turtles/) - The pandemic delayed visiting this spot by a year. In 2020, the goal was to see this before it had lost affiliation, not to mention my well-known affinity WPA-era parks. However, the park was renovated in 1999 such that it looks like it was built then. Now it's part of the "new" Appalachian League, MLB's
- [Outfielders](https://nationalsprospects.com/2022-watchlist-and-player-reports/outfielders/) - Yasel Antuna Born: 10/26/99 Ht. 6' Wt. 195 Bats: S Throws: L Career Stats The Goodyear Blimp of 2021, Antuna started 2021 with a 4-for-67 run before getting his feet beneath him (on offense) and finishing .227/.307/.385 with 12HR in a career-high 106G. Antuna committed 36E, which seems like a lot, but is mostly

Perez posted a line of 1.87/2.37/1.08 across AA and AAA with 82 strikeouts in 53IP
- [RHPs](https://nationalsprospects.com/2022-watchlist-and-player-reports/rhps/) - Joan Adon Born: 8/12/98 Ht. 6'2" Wt. 242 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats As predicted in this space in 2020, Adon's velo did return (along with almost 60 lbs more weight) as he pitched every level from A+ to MLB and broke 100IP again. Scouts disagree whether his SL or CH is his
- [Third Basemen](https://nationalsprospects.com/2022-watchlist-and-player-reports/third-basemen/) - Gilbert Lara Born: 10/30/97 Ht. 6'4" Wt. 198 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats Lara remains on the watchlist at third base largely because of two things: his age (24) and the utter lack of viable alternatives. The pickup from the 2018 trade of Gio Gonzalez played three levels in 2021 but did not

The Nats gave him some reps at
- [Catchers](https://nationalsprospects.com/2022-watchlist-and-player-reports/catchers/) - Brady Lindsly Born: 3/3/98 Ht. 6'1" Wt. 221 Bats: L Throws: R Career Stats Lindsly was largely considered to have been drafted in 2020 as a courtesy to Cade Cavalli. While he was moved up to AA and did not follow Cavalli to AAA, his 41 total games played with no injuries to speak
- [Notable Bats](https://nationalsprospects.com/2022-watchlist-and-player-reports/notable-bats/) - After a hiatus, the ninth edition of this collection of old, on the cusp, and/or longtime players returns. Most of these guys don't pan out – only three have made an MLB roster: Brian Goodwin, Spencer Kieboom, and Juan Soto, who made the list as an expensive IFA who was getting the buzz that turned
- [Notable Arms](https://nationalsprospects.com/2022-watchlist-and-player-reports/notable-arms/) - Welcome to the ninth edition of this category, created in 2013 when it was apparent there were a group of often-talked-about pitchers who were either old (ok, mostly), on the cusp (but still old), or had simply been in the system for a long time. Notable arms have a better track record of actually making

- [Rebuilds](https://nationalsprospects.com/2022-watchlist-and-player-reports/rebuilds/) - Perhaps a year too late, but after the usual suspects of age, injury, and reversion to the mean, the Nats held a fire sale at the end of July 2021 and picked up a boatload of players. This badly needed infusion of talent and prospects – though most were of the arb-eligible range – instantly
- [Middle Infielders](https://nationalsprospects.com/2022-watchlist-and-player-reports/middle-infielders/) - Jake Alu Born: 4/6/97 Ht. 5'10" Wt. 175 Bats: L Throws: R Career Stats Despite graduating from BC and posting mediocre results at SS-A Auburn in 2019, Alu stuck around for the 2021 season and made the jump past Low-A to High-A and finished the season at Harrisburg. The biggest jump came in power

Not sure what Delta was on that... Like Wilmington and Syracuse, there was a

The Royals would resume their affiliation in '07 and stay until '19. Meanwhile, Boston was banished to the California League for two seasons, prompting the Sox to buy the Salem Avalanche in 2008 to get
- [2021 Watchlist and Player Reports](https://nationalsprospects.com/2021-watchlist-and-player-reports/) - The 2021 list is admittedly very similar to the 2020 list since, you know, there was no 2020 season. Neverthelesss, we'll try to put in as much new info as possible, which means we'll be relying more heavily on the prospect books than usual (though even with a 2020 season, this may have been true
- [Notables](https://nationalsprospects.com/2021-watchlist-and-player-reports/notables/) - For the first time in several years, this is just a single column... and just a handful of guys – thanks to the pandemic (and table structure, natch). Like the "Aged Out?" or the "DSL Bats/Arms," it didn't seem fair to drop them from the watchlist because they had no opportunity to play themselves into
- [LHPs](https://nationalsprospects.com/2021-watchlist-and-player-reports/lhps/) - Seth Romero Born: 4/19/96 Ht. 6'3" Wt. 240 Bats: L Throws: L Career Stats Romero hadn't pitched in a game that counted since August of 2018, but, like many others, made his MLB Debut in 2020. After three less-than-stellar relief outings, he injured his non-pitching hand while reportedly falling down a set of stairs.
- [RHPs](https://nationalsprospects.com/2021-watchlist-and-player-reports/rhps/) - Steven Fuentes Born: 5/4/97 Ht. 6'2" Wt. 175 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats Rule 5 considerations got Fuentes onto the 40-man roster in 2020 despite a 50-game suspension that cut 2019 short. The Panamanian IFA had made a career-high 11 starts after spending the prior seasons primarily as a reliever. He features a
- [2019 DSL Guys](https://nationalsprospects.com/2021-watchlist-and-player-reports/2019-dsl-guys/) - Statistically speaking, most of these guys will probably flame out within just a couple of years. It's the nature of the beast. As of late January 2020, all ten of these guys were still listed as active on MiLB.com ‐ though it should be noted that releases and retirements during the offseason often go unreported.
- [First Basemen](https://nationalsprospects.com/2021-watchlist-and-player-reports/first-basemen/) - KJ Harrison Born: 8/11/96 Ht. 6' Wt. 208 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats The lack of 2020 season is arguably most detrimental to a guy like Harrison, who had a roller-coaster 2019. He started in Low-A and pounded Sally Lg. pitchers for a .404/.485/.649 line in 16 games before getting the bump to

It's not clear why Reetz isn't a free agent, having already served
- [Aged Out?](https://nationalsprospects.com/2021-watchlist-and-player-reports/aged-out/) - One of the perennial discussions on this site and other prospect-following sites is "How old is too old?" That the Nationals draft so many collegiate players exacerbates the debate and a missed 2020 season combined with minor-league contraction further compounds the situation. In previous watchlists, this decision was much easier. If you haven't been added
- [2020 Draft Picks](https://nationalsprospects.com/2021-watchlist-and-player-reports/2020-draft-picks/) - The 2020 draft was an aberration and abomination – the former because of the pandemic, the latter because MLB— crying poor without proof as it always does—limited payouts to $100,000 last summer and the rest of the bonus to paid out over two years, interest-free. And these players were not signed to a 2020 contract,
- [2019 IFAs](https://nationalsprospects.com/2021-watchlist-and-player-reports/2019-ifas/) - The loss of the 2020 season is especially devastating for these guys because they were supposed to have made their professional debuts last summer. Instead, they're almost like the 2020 models on a new car lot – still shiny and new with not a lot of mileage on the odometer, but no longer the latest

He also improved on his power and patience, as his OPS went from .738 to .756 even with a change of level.

He was likely to have repeated the level in 2020 after a lackluster 2019 season. In a pinch, he can

In the former, he was masterful (3.37 FIP); in the latter he was awful (7.98). His FB is usually in the low-90s but his best

- [Notable Arms](https://nationalsprospects.com/2020-watchlist-and-player-reports/notable-arms/) - This is now the eighth edition of this category, which was created in 2013 when it was apparent there were a group of players that were either old (ok, mostly), on the cusp (but still old), or had simply been in the system for a long time. Taylor Guilbeau became the latest notable arm to

- [RHPs](https://nationalsprospects.com/2020-watchlist-and-player-reports/rhps/) - Wil Crowe Born: 9/9/94 Ht. 6'2" Wt. 240 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats Let the Tanner Roark comps begin! Sturdy carriage and four-seam FB that has a higher RPM than MPH. Uses the classic arsenal (fastball, curve, slide, changeup). Scouts say his control is spotty, which he compensates for by mixing his pitches
- [Third Basemen](https://nationalsprospects.com/2020-watchlist-and-player-reports/third-basemen/) - Gilbert Lara Born: 10/30/97 Ht. 6'4" Wt. 198 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats Lara was picked up in the 2018 trade of Gio Gonzalez to Milwaukee, which tends to give him more cachet than he deserves. Yes, he has size. Yes, he can play shortstop. But will he develop into a Kelvin Gutierrez-type
- [Shortstops](https://nationalsprospects.com/2020-watchlist-and-player-reports/shortstops/) - Carter Kieboom Born: 9/3/97 Ht. 6'2" Wt. 190 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats All eyes are on Carter Kieboom to be a regular in the 2020 Nats lineup. The questions are where and when. Offensively, there's not much doubt. The consensus is he'll be a plus hitter with patience, recognizes secondary pitches, and
- [Second Basemen](https://nationalsprospects.com/2020-watchlist-and-player-reports/second-basemen/) - Cole Freeman Born: 9/27/94 Ht. 5'9" Wt. 175 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats To his credit, Cole Freeman played his way from an overdraft to a watchlist category player with the kind of season most would have expected in 2018: 31SB, 82R, 27-2B in 123G. Despite his size (5'9" in 2" cleats), he's

The bat still lags behind the glove—and probably always will—but his offensive production

- [2019 Fayetteville Woodpeckers](https://nationalsprospects.com/2019-fayetteville-woodpeckers/) - Two years ago, we visited the Buies Creek Astros, the temporary home of the now-kwown-as Fayetteville Woodpeckers. This particular night was a near-record crowd to see the soon-to-be-defunct (allegedly)… ...Potomac Nationals. OK, fine. It was a Friday night, a fireworks night, and.... ...Military Appreciation night. Like most of the stadium built in the last 15

While scouts disagree on whether it was an improved

With pressure from several catchers below and Spencer

Perhaps a couple of high-price IFAs
- [Outfielders](https://nationalsprospects.com/2019-watchlist-and-player-reports/outfielders/) - Victor Robles Born: 5/19/97 Ht. 6' Wt. 190 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats Victor Robles's (semi? multi?) annual trip to the DL came early in 2018 and it was his longest: nearly three full months (April 13-July 7) and limited him to 52 games, his shortest stint since arriving in the DSL five
- [Middle Infielders](https://nationalsprospects.com/2019-watchlist-and-player-reports/middle-infielders/) - Carter Kieboom Born: 9/3/97 Ht. 6'2" Wt. 190 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats After a horrific April (.198/.308/.347), Kieboom caught fire on offense (.301/.370/.469 last 99G) and eased some of the doubts about his defense, though he did commit 26 errors in 118 games at SS. He played nine games at 2B in

He's been tried at both 2B and 3B and may even

Seth Romero Best-case scenario: Romero grows up, puts in the work necessary to rehab from Tommy John surgery, and shows up in the AFL in October in shape and ready to pitch. The problem is that he's shown

He did well enough at both to earn a trip to the AFL, though he

But if you're lefthanded and can throw strikes, you'll get LOTS of chances. Borne pitched all of 2017 in Potomac, missing a month for disciplinary reasons from mid-April to
- [RHPs](https://nationalsprospects.com/2018-watchlist-and-player-reports/rhps/) - Erick Fedde DOB: 2/25/93 Ht. 6'4" Wt. 180 Bats: R Career Stats In my mind, there are two questions that need to be answered with Fedde: (1) Is he healthy? (2) Why did the Nats mess with him as a reliever? Fedde did not pitch after Aug. 27 and threw 30⅔ fewer innings in 2017
- [Outfielders](https://nationalsprospects.com/2018-watchlist-and-player-reports/outfielders/) - Andrew Stevenson DOB: 6/1/94 Ht. 6' Wt. 185 Bats: L Throws: L Career Stats Injuries in DC accelerated Stevenson's timeframe as what may have been a two-level campaign became three, with just 20 games in AA and almost 40 in MLB. In between, he spent nearly 80 games at AAA, where his production fell

To his credit, his walk rate remained the same. MLB.com reports that Ward had offseason wrist surgery, which may explain his drop

The 2011 1st. Rd. pick (supplemental) was touted as the team's future CF, only to have Michael

How serious the Nats are about a platoon is also a factor. Alas, he's still right-handed, he still has one option left, and

Questions are now starting to arise about his defense, as he compensates for a lack of a first-step and an average arm

It's fairly obvious that Freeman was injured following LSU's run through the College World Series, but

Osvaldo Abreu DOB: 6/13/94 Ht. 6' Wt. 170 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats After splitting time in 2015 between 2B and SS, the 22-y.o. Dominican spent all of 2016 at shortstop and

In his first two seasons, he flirted with a .300 BA with double-digit
- [First Baseman](https://nationalsprospects.com/2018-watchlist-and-player-reports/first-baseman/) - Jose Marmolejos Born: 1/2/1993 Ht. 6'1" Wt. 185 Bats: L Throws: L Career Stats An elbow injury delayed the start of the "the Orange's" 2017 campaign and perhaps sapped his power a bit (.495 SLG% in '16 vs. .458 in '17), but otherwise his steady climb continued with his fifth .800+ OPS campaign since 2012.

Now, he'll be battling Jose Lobaton for the backup job, and his dexterity and remaining options will be strikes

Then again, most organizations are. Crownover dominated at Low-A (1.17/2.98/1.02) in April and May to earn a jump to High-A, where batters had their way with him in his first

Not predicted: he'd be in DC by July. Some of that, of course, was need but it's well-established now that college relievers can be "safely" rushed. The biggest question this year is whether

Instead, it's very young and tilted towards the IFAs. Nick Banks Banks posted a line of .277/.310/.320 as 21-y.o. in the NYPL. Not bad, but not what you'd expect from a 4th Rd. pick. Some folks

Sometimes it skews old, sometimes it skews towards notoriety, sometimes it's just askew. It's not a full-fledged category per se, but then again, it's a bit more than an honorable mention at the end of a season review. Without further ado... Jimmy

But it serves as a reminder that stats aren't the be-all, end-all that we'd like them to be. Ballou pounded AA pitchers
- [Notable Bats](https://nationalsprospects.com/2016-watchlist-and-player-reports/notable-bats/) - The Notable Bats returns after being combined with the arms last year, but the principle remains the same: these are the folks that don’t quite merit full inclusion but are still noteworthy. The only rule is that player can’t be here in consecutive years – either they play their way back to their respective position

With 40 days' MLB service, he's also justbarelyarookie. Major-league hitters knocked him around (.356 OBA) but AAA hitters were less successful (.249) though LHBs,

That's not exactly great for a corner infielder who was old for the

Hence, the University of West Virginia's logo cut into the OF grass. As the shade suggests, the ballpark is built to maximize sunlight on the field and keeps

This is the infamous "Three Dog Night" – a kielbasa stuffed with a brat and a hot dog. Some folks can't finish it, others (*burp*) devour it in about 7 minutes. Outside the restaurant that's built in, you'll find a Tiki

Never going to complain about cantilevered roof, even it's on the shallow side. Pro: All the seats have backs. Con: It has very little personality and looks, well, cookie-cutter. The infield is artificial turf, which is a popular option for facilities built

Hill compensates for his average stuff with

In the second half, he began driving the ball more

This category has become kind of a catch-all, in part designed to address the "what about __________?" comments.

- [2011 Watchlist and Player Reports](https://nationalsprospects.com/watch-list-and-player-reports/2011-watchlist-and-player-reports/) - I've updated this since last month to include the Rule 5 pickups and the prospects acquired in the trade of Josh Willingham. To drill down, click on the hyperlink above the position or pitcher type. There you'll see the players listed with links and more details, which may include a condensed scouting report (which is
- [2012 Watchlist: LH Relievers](https://nationalsprospects.com/watch-list-and-player-reports/2012-watchlist-and-player-reports/2012-watchlist-lh-relievers/) - Josh Smoker DOB: 11/26/88 Ht. 6'2" Wt. 195 Bats: L Career Stats As predicted last offseason, Smoker's move to the 'pen revived his prospect status, enough for him to get mentioned as a possible Rule 5 target. Consistently throws in the mid-90s but has the Nolan Ryan "tell" for his FB. The walks are still
- [2011 Watchlist: Shortstops](https://nationalsprospects.com/watch-list-and-player-reports/2011-watchlist-and-player-reports/2011-watchlist-shortstops/) - Danny Espinosa DOB: 4/25/87 Ht. 6' Wt. 190 Bats: S Throws: R Career Stats While he played 2B in his September callup, Espinosa's true position is shortstop and he is the organization's best. His wiry build and quick wrists give him solid power but scouts have perennially worried that his aggressive approach would equal low
- [2011 Watchlist: RH Relievers](https://nationalsprospects.com/watch-list-and-player-reports/2011-watchlist-and-player-reports/2011-watchlist-rh-relievers/) - Josh Wilkie DOB: 7/22/84 Ht. 6' 2" Wt. 190 Bats: R Career Stats Sickels puts it best: "Even after five years of minor-league success, scouts don't care much for Josh Wilkie. He doesn't throw hard (85-89) and his best pitch is his changeup. All he does is throw strikes, collect grounders (2.58 GO/AO last year),
- [2011 Watchlist: LH Starters](https://nationalsprospects.com/watch-list-and-player-reports/2011-watchlist-and-player-reports/2011-watchlist-lh-starters/) - Tom Milone DOB: 2/16/87 Ht. 6' 1" Wt. 205 Bats: L Career Stats Disclosure: Milone has been a favorite since '09. Back-to-back 12-win seasons with nearly the same ERA has put him on the prospect radar, even without a "plus" pitch. Outstanding control (1.3BB/9) has been his hallmark, but his best tool is between his
- [2011 Watchlist: LH Relievers](https://nationalsprospects.com/watch-list-and-player-reports/2011-watchlist-and-player-reports/2011-watchlist-lh-relievers/) - Joe Testa DOB: 12/18/85 Ht. 5' 10" Wt. 175 Bats: L Career Stats Acquired in the Matt Capps deadline deal that more famously netted Wilson Ramos, Testa was considered a throw-in, particularly after a poor showing at AA (1-4, 8.25). Undersized (5-10, 175), Testa compensates by throwing a large arsenal of pitches, including a cutter,
- [2012 Watchlist: Third Basemen](https://nationalsprospects.com/watch-list-and-player-reports/2012-watchlist-and-player-reports/2012-watchlist-third-basemen/) - Justin Bloxom DOB: 4/29/88 Ht. 6'1" Wt. 205 Bats: S Throws: R Career Stats With the decision to turn Steve Souza into a 1B, Bloxom was asked forced to play out of position all year long. To his credit, it didn't affect his offense. Injuries limited him to 88 games, but he showed some pop
- [2012 Watchlist: Shortstops](https://nationalsprospects.com/watch-list-and-player-reports/2012-watchlist-and-player-reports/2012-watchlist-shortstops/) - Zach Walters DOB: 9/5/89 Ht. 6'2" Wt. 195 Bats: S Throws: R Career Stats It was a tale of two Walters for the Nats in '11. The Potomac version hit .293 and was smooth in the field, the AFL version labored to hit his weight and made multiple errors while playing 3B. Hits for average,
- [2012 Watchlist: RH Starters](https://nationalsprospects.com/watch-list-and-player-reports/2012-watchlist-and-player-reports/2012-watchlist-rh-starters/) - Paul Demny DOB: 8/3/89 Ht. 6'2" Wt. 200 Bats: R Career Stats With the trade of Brad Peacock and the loss of Brad Meyers to the Rule 5 draft, the 22-year-old Demny is now the top "northpaw" in the system. Throws mid-90s heat but has trouble keeping the ball in the yard (22HR including 4HR
- [2012 Watchlist: RH Relievers](https://nationalsprospects.com/watch-list-and-player-reports/2012-watchlist-and-player-reports/2012-watchlist-rh-relievers/) - Rafael Martin DOB: 5/16/84 Ht. 6'2" Wt. 195 Bats: R Career Stats Yes, he turns 28 in May, but the Nats sent him to the AFL without the threat of losing him to the Rule 5 draft. "Only" throws in the 87-90 range, but throws a natural sinker, a plus slider, and a show-me change
- [2012 Watchlist: Outfielders](https://nationalsprospects.com/watch-list-and-player-reports/2012-watchlist-and-player-reports/2012-watchlist-outfielders/) - Corey Brown DOB: 11/26/85 Ht. 6' 1" Wt. 205 Bats: L Throws: L Career Stats The lack of OFs at the AAA and MLB level is what keeps Brown on the watchlist, as he's viable candidate to make the club as 4th OF out of '12 ST. Hit .287/.363/.434 in the 2nd half, but also
- [2012 Watchlist: LH Starters](https://nationalsprospects.com/watch-list-and-player-reports/2012-watchlist-and-player-reports/2012-watchlist-lh-starters/) - Danny Rosenbaum DOB: 10/10/87 Ht. 6'1" Wt. 210 Bats: R Career Stats With the trade of Milone, Rosenbaum becomes the most accomplished LH starter in the Nats minors. A workhorse (171⅓IP) in '11, he saw his velo jump into the low 90s but had to repeat at Potomac to master his control. Has the knack
- [2012 Watchlist: First Basemen](https://nationalsprospects.com/watch-list-and-player-reports/2012-watchlist-and-player-reports/2012-watchlist-first-basemen/) - 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
- [2012 Watchlist: Catchers](https://nationalsprospects.com/watch-list-and-player-reports/2012-watchlist-and-player-reports/2012-watchlist-catchers/) - Sandy Leon DOB: 3/13/89 Ht. 5' 11" Wt. 175 Bats: S Throws: R Career Stats Leon came to Potomac in '11 as advertised: a glove-first catcher that's learning to hit. Defensively, he's close to a finished product (twice named his league's best defensive catcher in BA polls). He pegged 51% of the runners that tried
- [2011 Watchlist: RH Starters](https://nationalsprospects.com/watch-list-and-player-reports/2011-watchlist-and-player-reports/2011-watchlist-rh-starters/) - Yunesky Maya DOB: 8/28/81 Ht. 5' 11" Wt. 170 Bats: Right Career Stats Like it or not, Yunesky Maya bears the burden of being the first significant IFA since the scandal that forced out Jim Bowden and his success will forever be judged through that prism. Pedestrian in five Sept. starts, the hope is that
- [2011 Watchlist: Outfielders](https://nationalsprospects.com/watch-list-and-player-reports/2011-watchlist-and-player-reports/2011-watchlist-outfielders/) - Corey Brown DOB: 11/26/85 Ht. 6' 1" Wt. 205 Bats: L Throws: L Career Stats Acquired in the Josh Willingham trade, Brown is a "tools" guy that Sickels described as a Jeromy Burnitz/Kirk Gibson hybrid when he's going well, but downright awful at other times, citing his too-aggressive approach that leads to a ton of
- [2011 Watchlist: Third Basemen](https://nationalsprospects.com/watch-list-and-player-reports/2011-watchlist-and-player-reports/2011-watchlist-third-basemen/) - Stephen King DOB: 10/2/87 Ht. 6' 2" Wt. 195 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats Four years removed from status as a Top 10 prospect, King spent the 2010 season serving his 50-game PED suspension then stepping back to SS-A Vermont and working his way back to Low-A Hagerstown. Injuries have dogged him throughout his

As a
- [2011 Watchlist: First Basemen](https://nationalsprospects.com/watch-list-and-player-reports/2011-watchlist-and-player-reports/2011-watchlist-first-basemen/) - Chris Marrero Born: 7/2/1988 Ht. 6' 3" Wt. 210 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats The potential for power has been syn- onymous with Marrero writeups for five years now, but the in-game results have been sporadic at best. Scouts point to a "bucketfoot" tendency instead of striding forward. His swing has decent leverage, and
- [2011 Watchlist: Catchers](https://nationalsprospects.com/watch-list-and-player-reports/2011-watchlist-and-player-reports/2011-watchlist-catchers/) - Wilson Ramos DOB: 8/20/87 Ht. 6' Wt. 220 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats Defense is the name of Ramos's game, with a plus arm and soft hands. Still needs work on gamecalling and handling pitchers. Doesn't strike out much, but also doesn't walk much. Scouts feel like there could be some power down the
- [2012: West Virginia Power](https://nationalsprospects.com/road-trips/2012-west-virginia-power/) - Most of the ballpark reviews focus on what used to be there, but to me, this looks like they did the best they could with what they had to work with, which is not uncommon with newer ballparks since they're often built with promises of urban renewal in neighborhoods that have seen better days. Case
- [2012: Lexington Legends](https://nationalsprospects.com/road-trips/2012-lexington-legends/) - Formerly known as Applebee's Park, it's now Whitaker Bank Park and here you can see the homage to one of the local passions besides baseball. Why, yes, this is found behind home plate (and across from the team store). One of the less attractive features is how the stairways to the "second-tier seats" are indirect
- [2012: Louisville Bats](https://nationalsprospects.com/road-trips/2012-louisville-bats/) - Located on the Ohio river, just southwest from where Interstates 64 and 65 converge is Louisville Slugger Field, home to the Louisville Bats. The bridge to your left takes you into Indiana while the bridge to your right is I-65. Built in 2000, "The Slug" is similar to a lot of the stadiums built in
- [2011: Syracuse Chiefs](https://nationalsprospects.com/road-trips/syracuse-chiefs-2011/) - The front gate. "All aboard" refers to the train station next door. The Wall of Fame. Obviously for a longtime minors team like Syracuse, it's quite big. Built in 1997, it's an HOK Sport-designed stadium with a simple, multilevel design that seats about 11,000. Unfortunately, it's a AAA stadium with SS-A scoreboard. Actually, it's probably
- [2011: Auburn Doubledays](https://nationalsprospects.com/road-trips/auburn-doubledays-2011/) - The lineup board. Sadly, there's rarely more than a couple of people filling out the scorebooks; most just look 'em over and keep on walking. To the left, the advertiser's table. That night, it was some church/bible group handing out free bibles. To the right, the souvenir shack. It's amazing how some places have a
- [2010: Appalachian League](https://nationalsprospects.com/road-trips/appalachian-league-2010/) - Ask and ye shall receive... Last year, some of you may remember that I took a sojourn into Tennessee to see some Appy League baseball. For an old-school minor-league guy, this was baseball heaven. Crowds are smaller, but more focused. Concessions are simple, but affordable. I left in the time stamp to prove this wasn't
- [2012: Columbus Clippers](https://nationalsprospects.com/road-trips/columbus-clippers-2012/) - Opened in 2009, Huntington Park won three major awards and pulls off the tough task of making a new ballpark look old without ripping off Camden Yards. One of its strangest features is that you can actually view the game from the street, something that used to be done in the early 20th century, when
