In 2.5 seasons with the Washington Nationals, Joe Ross has been one of the most interesting, yet enigmatic players on the team.
He put together two solid (albeit unspectacular) seasons from 2015-16, posting a 3.52 ERA and a 3.46 FIP over 181.2 innings. Most teams that have a 24-year-old pitcher with that kind of track record would give him the keys to the kingdom.
Not the Nats. No one seemed to care, even though Ross was a top-100 prospect who made his debut at age 22. Maybe its hard to get excited about anyone as an organization when you have Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg, but Ross actually had a better ERA over those two seasons than Strasburg.
