Nothing Nats related, but comments involving some guys we've talked about.

Quote
Jim Callis: There's no consensus No. 3, but there are more prospects than usual worthy of that pick, if you know what I mean. On the pitching side, Sonny Gray, Jed Bradley and Danny Hultzen are among the contenders. Among position players, options include Bubba Starling, Francisco Lindor and George Springer. There's a lot of buzz right now that the Diamondbacks love Hultzen at No. 3.

Jim Callis: I really hadn't thought about this yet—there's so much talent it makes your head spin. My 3-5 would be Jed Bradley, Bubba Starling and maybe Francisco Lindor. Sonny Gray is right there, too.

Jim Callis: I am not a major league scout. But I can tell you that Gray's fastball-curveball combination is as good as any in this draft, and don't bet against him as a starter despite his small frame.
