John Sickels graded Washington's farm system, and Tony Blanco is their sixth best prospect according to John, with a grade of C. I think Blanco being placed so high is as much an indictment of the National's farm system as it is an endorsement of Blanco, but I still hope we get him back at some point. Here's the comment on Blanco:
Rule 5 guy Tony Blanco has enormous power but will be lucky to hit .240 in the Majors unless he makes substantial improvements in his plate discipline.
