I actually think House ends up the big trade bait.
this team has waited forever to develop a legit 3B prospect. I don't think they move House. He's a cornerstone piece.

they have a lot of 3B prospects. All it takes is one of them to click. It's not going to be Lipscomb, it could be Tena if he can field, Morales is getting reps, Wallace is highly ranked, and there's even a shot at Chaparro. One of those 4 shows enough before next August, and House  may become available.

Gata of course will go nuts but I don't think he looks at the Pinckney thread.

I don't think there's any way they deal House.

They got Wallace so they could deal House or move him to first. House is the only prospect that can headline a trade for the pitcher Rizzo will want.

Hassell did well until he hurt his wrist again. Maybe he heals over the off-season, if the Nats' medical staff figures out what has gone wrong with the wrist surgeries since he broke his hamate. Look for himi in the spring to begin Rochester.

That's a pleasant start. This guy may be a useful trade chip behind a jammed OF if he keeps it up.

he's reached AAA and does not have to be added to a team's 40 man roster until after 2 more seasons. That has value.

Like I posted in main board yesterday, for first time in a long time Nationals suddenly have trade flexibility. We can move a prospect or two from the infield, outfield, pitching staff and not be completely barren in that area. It was already headed that way with the 2023 draft looking strong early, and the deadline deals gave just a bit more depth.

Had the Nationals even wanted to compete back in 2022, coming out of 2021 there wasn't a prospect pool to choose from. If the Nats this offseason want to start really pushing, the system is stocked to do so.

I think if Pinckney was at this point in his career but it was September 2021, he may actually have been the top hitting prospect in the system depending on your opinion of Brady House.

Next season, he will settle in at AAA, alongside Robert Hassell. OF depth is not bad.

Profile of Pinckney. did not receive any scholarship offers coming out of high school but 2 schools, including Alabama, offered him preferred walk-on status. That basically means you are on the squad initially but without a scholarship. Steadily moved up from being rated the worst player on the squad to 2d team all SEC his senior year. I'll let Dylan Crews pick up the story:

Quote
That offseason, he trained with two major leaguers — Niko Goodrum and Dwight Smith Jr. — in Georgia. By the time Pinckney returned to Alabama, he had improved dramatically. Over the next two offseasons, he played in collegiate summer leagues — Northwoods and the prestigious Cape Cod. He continued to get better — to the extent that he thought he would be drafted in 2022. When he wasn’t, he went back to Alabama for his redshirt junior year and put it all together, batting .339 with a .648 slugging percentage and 18 home runs.
...
By that season, Pinckney had caught the attention of Crews, another SEC outfielder who was making a name for himself at LSU. Crews called him “probably one of the best athletes I’ve seen.” One game stands out to Crews: The rivals faced off in Baton Rouge in 2023, and the Tigers swept the Crimson Tide during their run to the national title. But in the first game of that series, with future No. 1 draft pick Paul Skenes on the mound for LSU, Pinckney went 5 for 5 and blasted a solo home run.

“Pinckney was one of those guys where we just always knew that he would be something someday,” Crews said. “I’m glad he’s on my team now.”
