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…

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.

   “…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.”

   “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.”

Strasburg has in injured knee and won’t throw on Saturday, dammit.

Also, the Mamba has struck in the Lackey thread. What a winner. He says he’s the smartest person in the world, so I figure we should just believe him and worship THE MAMBA.
