Nationals have pitchers that could move quickly in 2016

The entire roster of pitchers invited to instructional league are the top prospects in the Nationals organization. The list includes the big names fans are accustomed to: Lucas Giolito, Erick Fedde, Reynaldo Lopez and others.

But if we dig a little deeper and go to the Nationals to ask them who are the possible quick movers, guys that raised eyebrows during the season and the work they did in instructs, the list contains names that many fans may not be as familiar with. This list of prospects "had very productive instructional leagues" as my sources have told me.

"These guys made some really nice adjustments during instructional league and showed the ability to make those adjustments," the club source told me. "Those are the kind of guys that can possibly move a little quicker than most."

Here are some names to keep a watchful eye on for 2016 and beyond, they could make some big moves this season:
