The nephew of former major leaguer Eli, young Chris Marrero was Washington's top pick in the 2006 draft, and rated a perfect 80 on the scouting power scale, which is tremendous in someone so young. He has a knack for missing some breaking balls by a mile, but he's still very young, so give him some time to learn a little discipline. To make up for his lack of speed, the Nats have converted the onetime OF to full time first-base status, which should also let him concentrate on hitting.
He's a bit green, but a nice sleeper for late 2012 after almost, but not quite exhausting his rookie eligibility in 2011.
