Will Yoder

Been a D.C sports fan since birth. Helped fight to get the Nationals here, in the process fell in love with my dads childhood team the Mets.

Already committed to Tulane University, many believed that drafting Ramirez was a waste, and signing him was unlikely for any club.

JP Ramirez, 18, was a standout at Canyon High School in New Braunfels Texas. Playing both outfield and first base, Ramirez lead his team his senior year batting .530 with 26…

Some say one of the biggest failures for Washington since the team???s creation has been their inability to land the big free agent. Those people are forgetting about Esmailyn Gonzalez.
WWW.TheNatsBlog.com




In 2006 Gonzalez signed with Washington out of his hometown of Pizarrete, in the Dominican Republic, at the age of 16. The Nats beat out many other Major League suitors and inked this talented phenom shortstop to a minor league deal with a $1.4 million signing bonus.


Gonzalez may very well be the brightest hope for what many consider a weak Washington Nationals…
