I just figured that Hagerstown would be stocked mostly with the guys from Vermont last season (Willems, Zimmermann, Alaniz, Kimball, Mandel) and that Vermont would give him a better shot of starting on a regular basis. I'm figuring that Vermont would have Smoker, McGeary, Pena, Atahualpa Severino and Patrick Arnold along with Tanco.</p> <p>either way, isn't it great to be discussing where some (hopefully) talented, young pitchers will be starting in each of the Nats minor teams?</p> Brian –

either way, isn’t it great to be discussing where some (hopefully) talented, young pitchers will be starting in each of the Nats minor teams?

It's too bad it was cut short. I like the way he was able to be consistent with his offense last year. It should be interesting to see if he can build on that progress and maybe make some better contact in these higher levels. Bass was a nice later round pick and made a pretty good transition in his first year to a higher level of competition from his college. Another guy who was able to be pretty consistent in his production. 2 guys who aren’t sure bets but are fun to follow in the minors as sleepers and see if they can succeed at the higher levels.</p> Baez was putting together a nice, progressive season before he had to stop playing.
