How bad it must have been (the farm system), to have such a drastic changeover in 8 months, and you can easily say, they are just beginning the overhaul. Just amazing how depleted they were. Thanks for the fresh info, as always.</p> Its amazing to realize only 3 of the top 15 were with The Nationals Organziation last season.

Not all of the high schoolers drafted are going to develop as "Top 10" guys. Dana Brown mentioned that four guys to the majors out of a draft class is considered good. Five of the top nine were from the 2006 draft (and Smiley is a 6th added from the amateur ranks), so the Nationals should realistically anticipate only 2-3 of them make it with another 1-2 coming out of later in the draft</p> The challenging part is how fluid this list is likely to be over the next 2-3 years.
