Throughout the vast majority of Mike Rizzo's tenure as General Manager of the Washington Nationals, he was notorious for drafting college players - particularly pitchers - early and often.
Mike DeBartolo shifted aggressively in the other direction in his debut as interim GM. Four of DeBartolo's first five picks were spent on high school players, including shortstop Eli Willits at No. 1 overall.
Perhaps this is evidence that the new regime felt that the most talented players, or prospects with the most upside, were mostly high schoolers this year. More likely, however, they took a look in the mirror and acknowledged the reality that most fans see: the Nationals aren't particularly close to becoming sustainable playoff contenders.
