Infielder Anthony Rendon (above), the Nationals' top draft pick in 2011, will start the season in Double-A, but he could get called up at some point this season. Rendon's path to Washington is a little more clear than that of fellow infielder Zach Walters, who impressed the organization by hitting .297 during spring training.
