Doesn’t seem much to get excited about.

99
guys I went to school with used to play 99 for bong hits.
If he's 99, does that mean he's the next Gretzky?

It's pretty clear our domestic amateur scouting and development team is dogcrap. Rizzo is a fine GM but he needs to make some personnel changes if our drafting continues to be so poor. We've dumped most of our mid-level guys the last few years searching for major league players but the top levels are so bad and that's a result of every draft being a waste of time. Sick first-round draft picks in Fedde, Romero, Denaburg, etc. The Yankees spend money on FA all the time and have had major prospects graduate to the majors with them and yet they still are pumping out guys to the top 100 list annually.
Did we lose some scouts from early in the decade? Not even counting Strasburg, Harper, and Rendon, it always felt like we had solid Top 100 prospects available to flip for good talent. If the Nationals go hunting at the deadline this year we'll have to eat salary instead of dangle prospects.The international department seems more solid. If you had Luis Garcia on that list instead of rushing him, I'd be pretty happy with the Latin American work being done. The college and high school scouts in the US? Awful.
