Erick Fedde \u2013 Pitcher<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fedde was moved to a relief role a couple of months ago to fast track his path the Big Show.\u00a0 The Nationals front office still see him as a starter but desperately need help in the bullpen and their hope is Fedde will come to the rescue later in the year.\u00a0 He has a 3.72 ERA in 19.1 innings as a reliever but has struggle since his promotion to AAA in mid-June.\u00a0 With that being said, I still see the Nationals<\/a> bring him up to the \u2018Bigs as their bullpen situation is laughable (They recently signed Edwin Jackson you guys)<\/p>\n

Jose Marmolejos \u2013 1B\/LF<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since returning from an arm injury in May, Marmolejos has been on fire with a .316\/.376\/.546 line in 39 games for Harrisburg.\u00a0 He struggled a but at the beginning of the month but has started hitting again boasting a .350\/.391\/.750 line in the past seven days.\u00a0 An interesting note is that in 2 outs and RISP situations, he is hitting .444\/.524\/1.056 in 18 ABs.\u00a0 Can we call him Mr. Clutch?\u00a0 If he continues to hit this well, I see a call to AAA in his future.<\/p>\n

Victor Robles<\/a> \u2013 CF<\/strong><\/p>\n

The top prospect in the Nationals<\/a> system is having a great year, hitting .303\/.397\/.538 for the Potomac Nationals<\/a>. Interesting note, during the month of June he has 4 SB but 3 CS.\u00a0 It will be interesting to see if they put the brakes on him running, or maybe just SSS?\u00a0 I could see a late season call up to AA, maybe if the Potomac Nationals<\/a> make a playoff push?<\/p>\n

Daniel Johnson \u2013 RF<\/strong><\/p>\n

An interesting player to emerge this year has been Daniel Johnson.\u00a0 He has hit .295\/.364\/.539 in Hagerstown this year.\u00a0 He has shown an upgrade in power as he has 14 homeruns.\u00a0 I thought he was going to be a speedy outfielder but I do not think that will be the case.\u00a0 He has 6 SB but 8 CS on the year so far.\u00a0 It will be interesting to see if he can keep the production up next year.\u00a0 Personally, I think he is just depth at the moment.<\/p>\n

Andrew Stevenson \u2013 LF<\/strong><\/p>\n

My \u201cfavorite\u201d player in the Nationals<\/a> system is starting to come around in AAA.\u00a0 He was promoted at the beginning of May and majorly struggled posting a .199\/.240\/.233 line from May through mid June.\u00a0 Since then, he has a .421\/.463\/.526\u00a0 with 4 SB and no CS.\u00a0 He is good to see that he can recover and make adjustments to higher competition.\u00a0 I think he stays in AAA for the rest of the season but a mid-season call up to the Majors might be in the cards for next year.\u00a0 Keep him on your radar!<\/p>\n

Draft Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the recent draft, the Nationals<\/a> picked a bunch of pitchers.\u00a0 Sal Romero (Round 1), Will Crowe (Round 2), and Nick Raquet (Round 3).\u00a0 It should also be noted that Romero is a Boras client and Crowe recently had Tommy John surgery\u2026.where have we heard this before.\u00a0 As of this post, the highest signee to actually sign is Raquet and according to Baseball America has swing and miss stuff but major control issues.\u00a0 Sounds like a typical bullpen guy to me.<\/p>\n
