MiLB Top 50 Prospects Countdown

Minor League Baseball is announcing their 2007 Post-Season list of the Top 50 Prospects in Baseball. They will be releasing the names of the top prospects in groups of 10 per day. In the week long announcement, which began yesterday, there have been two players in the Nationals farm system on the list.

Ross Detwiler is ranked at #37. I'm guessing that Detwiler will start 2008 in Harrisburg.

Chris Marrero is ranked at #31. Marrero should make his Double-A debut at some point in 2008.

I will continue to post any Nationals farm system players on the list. At this point I do not forsee any current or former Senators being on this list.
