I am now working on the Seattle Mariners prospect list. The next team in line is the Washington Nationals, to be followed by the Detroit Tigers, San Diego Padres, Boston Red Sox, Pittsburgh Pirates, Houston Astros, and the Philadelphia Phillies

Use this thread to discuss the Washington Nationals organization and farm system. Possible topics for discussion include, but are not limited to,

****Does this team win the division again in 2015?

****Sketch out a plan for the development of Lucas Giolito. Do you jump him to Double-A if he performs well in the spring? How fast are you willing to push him?

****How much additional time does A.J. Cole need in the minors?

****Is Anthony Rendon as good as he's going to get? Or can he take another step forward?

****Do you believe in Tanner Roark?  When do they promote John Galt?

****Can Aaron Barrett take on a larger role?

****As always, feel free to discuss sleeper prospects, under-rated talents, and over-rated ones.
