I'd like to throw out a name for our second round pick if he's still there; Arkansas Junior RHP/OF Brett Eibner. Originally a 4th round pick for the Astros, he decided to come to Arkansas so he could show off as a hitter. He fits an immediate need for the Nationals as a guy who is a stud hitting prospect or as another big pitching prospect. He was almost assured to be drafted as a pitcher before just exploding this year as a hitter and defensive outfielder. He's hitting .338 with 21 HRs(in a big park). He strikes out a bit much with 51, but also had 38 walks. Most of those K's come from swinging for the fences, but all year he was a guy you knew could draw a BB in a clutch situation. He played in the Cape Cod League last summer, a wood bat league, and I think even competed in the Home Run Derby at Fenway. His true gift is as a defensive OF. He was a + glove in CF who can play either corner spot as well as filling in at 1B in a pinch
If he were to come to the Nationals and stuggle at the plate in the minors, we could always reboot him as a pitcher. Even though he basically spent no time working at it compared to the hitting, he spent a lot of time hovering around as our Saturday/Sunday starter and was toyed around a bit as a possible closer at the end of the year. His fastball usually is around 96 MPH.
