Major league talent drafted by the Nats in the last 10 years (not counting fringe guys who barely got a cup of coffee):
- Lucas Giolito
- Spencer Keiboom
- Nick Pivetta
- Austin Voth
- Erick Fedde
- Max Schrock
- Andrew Stevenson
- Carter Kieboom
- Dane Dunning
- Sheldon Neuse
- Jesus Luzardo
- Will Crowe
- Cade Cavalli
Yeah, it is a depressing list, but there have been some draft picks over the last 10 years who've had major league success. Much more of Rizzo's success has come from international signings (Robles, Soto, Garcia) or players he acquired (Finnegan, Rainey, Thomas, Ruiz, etc.)
Again, if Kieboom, Robles, and Fedde had developed, we wouldn't be having this conversation. That was the next core of guys, along with Soto and Turner. It didn't work out.
