He is a right handed hitting outfielder out of Monsignor Edward Place High School in Florida. He's 6' 3" 210 lbs and was born in 1988. Here's a snippet from MLB about Marrero:
...Marrero was once considered to be the top position player from the high school ranks but hasn't separated himself as hoped this season. Still, he's got power and knowledge of the strike zone and the ability to stay at third.... here is the link to the full report.
Also here is a link to scout.com's assesment, which bodes well.
There are some other links but it is a mixed bag, essentially it looks like he is a solid player with overall solid foundation but who is not sexy. However there is a chance he will be a major leaguer as opposed to some other sexier picks.
The Nats 2nd pick in the 1st round @ # 22 is pitcher Colten Willems of John Carroll High School in Florida. He apparantly has three plus pitches fastball, curve & slider.
Will the horror of the Jim Bowden regime never end?? the 91st pick by the Nats is Stephen King. I mean come on. No seriously he a SS with great offensive and defensive tools but has had some leg injuries and has more potential than production to date.
I obviously will reserve judgment until we see some of these kids make it to the show and you can give Dana Brown the benefit of the doubt but I was hoping for more college players who were closer to the show as opposed to high school kids who are 4-7 years away.
