Got home this afternoon to find The Baseball Prospect Book 2010 in my mailbox. I’m sitting down right now to page through it, but there are 38 Nationals graded and profiled. Here are some quick hits
- 24 arms
- 14 bats
- One Grade A
- Two Grade B+
- One Grade B
- Two Grade B-
- Eight Grade C+
- The rest grade C (including NFA favorite Josh Wilkie)
- Three sleeper alerts

Brian – I posted the grades from the MLBA book (fomerly by Deric McKamey) of the Nats’ batters over at NatsProspects.com (link in name) today and plan on doing likewise for the pitchers tomorrow.

I would assume: A: Strasburg B+: Norris, Storen
But who’s the B?

SueD – Thanks!
cass – Correct so far. Who is your guess for B?

Baseball prodigy Bryce Harper hit his first collegiate home run in the victory, taking Matadors starter Tim Keller yard to start the bottom of the fifth inning. He finished 2-for-4 with a double, walk, run, and an RBI.

My guess would be Espinosa for the B
#9 by Brian Oliver - February 1st, 2010 at 19:25
Toast – Correct
#10 by peric - February 1st, 2010 at 21:59
B-?
#11 by Brian Oliver - February 1st, 2010 at 23:02
Two of the more well-known bats

Marrero and Burgess?

Pitching prospects are now up. Gotta say there’s some fodder for debate because there’s only seven guys that appear on both lists.

Thanks, Sue.

Travis Buck would lend nice tools off gthe bench.
