It might have slipped past most folks' radars that the Washington Nationals signed 14 of their first 15 Draft picks this summer, and continued to directly address their most pressing need for big league pitching by taking college hurlers with seven picks in the first 10 rounds.
In fact, it might have slipped past most folks' radars that the Nationals even drafted more than two players in 2009, given the avid and well-deserved press that their top two picks got.

By Bill Ladson / MLB.com
WASHINGTON -- Since they arrived in the nation's capital in 2005, the Nationals have always given back in the D.C. metro area, and '09 was no different.
For example, they visited wounded soldiers at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, hosted numerous baseball clinics at Nationals Park and donated almost 100,000 tickets to various groups.
Left-hander John Lannan received the most recognition when it came to giving back in Washington. He was the Nats' candidate for the Roberto Clemente Award this season, which recognizes the player who combines giving back to the community with outstanding on-field skills.
