One of the reasons that trade drew questions nationally is that Gutierrez is the most known/scouted piece of it and was highest reared in the Nats system entering the year, so many assumed he was the key piece.
Re: pitching prospects in the system, the 18 draftees make up most of the really interesting pieces (the Lynch kid from UVA has been particularly good).
Carlos Hernandez has also had a good season and is on a hot run. 6-4 kid with good FB velo.
18 3rd rounder Kyle Isbel is also off to a great start. Playing a good CF, stolen 18/21 bases, and hitting for power and average across two levels.
