just to elaborate

25) Washington Nationals (14): Graduations and trades have quickly weakened the talent down on the farm over the last year, but Mike Rizzo and company should be able to recharge quickly and the major league roster is young and strong. Strengths: Anthony Rendon and Brian Goodwin have star potential. Considerable raw material for a pitching staff. Weaknesses: They are banking a lot on injured pitchers recovering well. Many prospects are too old for their levels.

seems fair- most of our recent high/expensive picks (Rendon,Giolito, Purke) have huge injury concerns. Fortunately, the whole team except for laroche is under contract for the foreseeable future, and Moore is waiting to replace him.
