1 A, 1 A-, 5 B's, 6 B-, 13 C+
is what I see just eyeballing the list.
It IS weak at the end, wish there was more depth in our system. Curious how you rate Espinosa/Lomdo. Lomdo plate discipline is superb, while Espy is too prone to Ks. Espy may flash extraordinary range, but I’ll take Lomdo higher OBP any day. However I am not sure how much the Rizzo regime values OBP.
Norris
is he an A-?

Yeah, after watching him Saturday
I really like what I see.
I don't know about A-
Im as big a Norris fan as there is but the injury and defense questions need to be answered before going A- IMO. If he has a productive 2011, definitely. Right now he’s a B+ for me though.

on the high end, looks like
1 A, 2 B+, maybe a 3rd B+, might be just one B, but I could see a case for one or two others (in addition to the possible 3rd B+)
Espinosa is underrated by many.
I think he’s a B+ prospect, who will go 20/20 numerous times in his career.
If you haven’t seen the kid play, you need to. He’s an exciting player with surprising pop and speed.
he was a B+ prospect last year
This year? Probably the same, although I think it might be in his best interests to start the season at AAA. Plate discipline needs a little time to come together at higher levels, but I believe it will.
Saw him play several times in DC
In the field he’s amazing.
What makes him only a B in my mind is his line at Harrisburg: .262/.334/.464. Plus the 33 BBs vs 94 Ks in 434 PAs.
On Nats roster but not on the list.
Aaron Thompson, Atahualpa Severino, and Cole Kimball are on the Nats 40 Man Roster, have no Major League Stats and not on the list.
+1
Thompson was very interesting last year (maybe 2 years ago?), but i would like to revisit him after his abrupt disasters
It was 2 yrs ago
This year in AA, 4-13, 5.80, 136 IP, 164 H, 16 HRs, 53 BB, 95 Ks.
Was a bit surprised he’s still on the 40 man
Me too
Liked the trade from Florida but I think it’s safe to say that ship has sailed.

kimball
Kimball is on the list.
I don’t see Thompson as much of a prospect any more.
Severino I can put in.

Missing
Taylor Jordan – throws 95, projectable, so so year
Oh man I forgot about Wilson Ramos.
Excellent trade by the Nats.

He was a B
John had Espinosa rated as a straight B prospect last year.
I know he was
Sorry, I had him as a B+ last year, No. 42 prospect in the game. This year? Hmm . . .there’s good and bad, making him a prospect that needs careful consideration.
Espinosa getting surgery on hamate
was playing for Ponce in Puerto Rico.
Damn, that sucks
Doesn’t change my opinion of him though. He’ll still be one of my highest B+’s.
