Drew Storen had a pretty good rookie season. I personally think that he started to get a little worn down at the end after playing pretty much non-stop from college throught the minors to the AFL then spring training back to the minors and then to the majors, but that is just my opinion. Either way here is a retrospective on the first year of his career. --Ben Goessling from manssports.com
As for the Nationals next great hope. Bryce Harper is having his ups and downs in instructional league, but it is nothing that wasn't expected. --Adam Kilgore from washingtonpost.com
Derek Norris is a walk machine, and if Ramos works out and Dunn isn't resigned could he be the next Nick Johnson or Kevin Youkilis type first baseman? Just something to ponder. Whatever his future holds he feels that his adjustments at the plate in instructs will help him in the AFL. --Byron Kerr at masnsports.com
