thanks to Brock20 for this: mike stanton is a washington national.
not to harp on a sore spot, but espn has a nice article up today about daric barton, the new It-Boy of farm-clubdom. sample quote: "Barton's astonishing ability, at such a young age, to work counts, drive the ball the other way and relentlessly grind his way on base has made him the talk of the minor leagues."
to lessen the sting of that article, read these good words about chris lambert, stl's #1 draft pick from 2004, at baseball analysts: "Despite his recent struggles in AA, I like Lambert, and it appears he is a fastball tune-up away from becoming the club's best prospect."
