West Allis NATIONALS Baseball

Reports continue to pour in from the Nationals' farm system.  Prospects and suspects alike are drawing the attention of upper management as they continue their efforts to fine tune today's squad for a title run.

Atop the list is 8 year old Alex Elliott.  Though a bit undersized at 69 pounds, the youngster has displayed the even temperment, patience, and timely stick of a seasoned pro or even a few Nationals.  Currently assigned to the 8-10 year old American League at Wilson Park, Milwaukee, Elliott continues to excel.

In the past two games alone Elliott has gone 4-5 with 4 walks, a double, and a grand slam.  In addition, he's pitched two innings, striking out 5.  Said one scout recently, "Unlike current Nationals ace, Johnny Arnold, who pitches for the strikeouts, this youngster pitches to win."

Scouts are quick to note that the youngster has a ways to go before donning the Nationals navy and maroon.   "I don't think they have any pants or a hat that would fit him at this time." said one of the team's national cross-checkers.   

The team projects the youngster to be at the Langsdorf level by 2012.
