Editor note: from this post forward i’m going to start tweeting out via the new Nationals Arm Race twitter account. \u00a0@natsarmrace<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is the account. \u00a0I’m going to try to do a better job promoting the blog and its posts since, hey, why not. \u00a0Feel free to follow me there and retweet if you’re into that to get more people involved in the discussion.<\/p>\n

In years past, I’ve adapted a topic stolen from minorleagueball.com’s John Sickels<\/strong> and reviewed all our draft classes statistically. \u00a0Last years set of posts (2015 draft class<\/a>, 2014 draft class<\/a>, 2013 draft class<\/a>,\u00a02012 draft class<\/a>\u00a0and 2011 draft class<\/a>) turned into a great way to see how everyone was doing, and helped me write rotation reviews later on. \u00a0So let’s do it again! \u00a0Using last year’s posts to help make this year’s writing go better, we’re going to do another series of posts on each draft class.<\/p>\n

First up; 2016’s class. \u00a0Here’s a fast review of the 2016 draft class, looking at their 2016 numbers and making some snap judgments.<\/p>\n
