i'm as excited about these three kids as i am any three in our organization.  ramirez may be the darkhorse to shoot up to the majors quickly.

I like how the Nats are taking all those kids slow, seeing as they are all coming off high school seasons and need a year to get acclimated to a full pro season.  I expect big things from all three.

>what are everyone's expectations for cory van allen?  A solid season this year at AA, maybe some AAA at the end of season.  If he can show some good stuff again this season, then I think a spring training invitation would be in order for next year.  Maybe a call up at some point next season.

>who is your pitching sleeper prospect (bit under the radar, you expect to have a big year):  Patrick Arnold or Tom Milone (I like SFs pick too, Atwood)

>who is your hitting sleeper prospect:  Marcus Jones
