Minor League Ball.com's John Sickels' Washington Nationals' Top 20 Prospects.
A little over a week back Baseball America's Aaron Fitt unveiled his list of the Top 10 Prospects in the Washington Nationals' system, and now Minor League Ball.com's John Sickels has posted his own list of DC's top prospects in a post entitled, "Washington Nationals Top 20 Prospects for 2010". Both writers agree on the Top 3 with (RHP) Stephen Strasburg, (C) Derek Norris and (RHP) Drew Storen atop each list, with the first difference of opinion occuring over who is the highest-ranked shortstop in the Nationals' system , as Mr. Fitt places (SS) Ian Desmond fourth, one spot ahead of Danny Espinosa, while Desmond appears further down in Mr. Sickels' list as the 9th-ranked prospect overall in the DC system behind (1B) Chris Marrero, (2B) Jeff Kobernus, and (OFers) Michael Burgess and Justin Maxwell...Here's Minor League Ball.com's John Sickels' list of the Top 10 Prospects in the Nationals' system: (w/their BA ranking in parentheses):
- Stephen Strasburg - RHP (1)
- Derek Norris - C (2)
- Drew Storen - RHP (3)
- Danny Espinosa - SS (5)
- Chris Marrero - 1B (6)
- Jeff Kobernus - 2B (7)
- Michael Burgess - OF (9)
- Justin Maxwell - OF (8)

Sickels' Top Ten
I like all the picks on his list but two. John Maxwell = Shouldn’t be on the list & Burgess = 9 or 10
Eury Perez should be in the top ten but at 13 that’s not bad and BA has him @ 11
I’m glad to see Meyers get the love he deserves…
call up Norris?
I guess I make the point that 3 names on that list could be in the Majors next year…and that I wonder if the #2 prospect will also get the chance? If so it makes getting a catcher in Free Agency a bit redundant. Be interesting as Bard could cover for Flores and then have a Flores / Norris battery for the last half of the year.

Nats add three to 40-man roster, but not Wilkie
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/nationalsjournal/
“…right-hander Josh Wilkie, the subject of Tracee’s featureThursday, was not added to the roster and his future with the organization is now unclear. The Nationals’ 40-man roster is now full,…”
“The Nationals added three minor league pitchers — right-hander Juan Jaime and left-handers Atahualpa Severino and Aaron Thompson.”
Mezza: ''Are we there yet?'' ...Roscoe: "In baseball hell? Yes we are."
Well, Wilkie still could be back...just that he's eligible for rule 5...

Oh, I'm sure he'll be in the organization..... that "future...is...unclear" is a little hyperbolic...
Keeping someone on the 25-man all year might take more than showing off in the AFL…

But, who the heck is Juan Jaime?......Ace of the Lake Monsters?.........RIZZO!!!!
“Jaime, 22, was a combined 5-2 with a 2.10 ERA in 14 games last season with Class A Vermont and Class A Hagerstown. The right-hander posted a .189 batting average against and 12.3 strikeouts per nine innings (76 strikeouts in 55 2/3 innings). Jaime is 10-3 with one save and a 2.42 ERA in 42 games (14 starts) as a professional.”

A Low A-baller, though......I mean, really, ..........someone would put him in their 'pen for a year?
