The Book on John Lannan
Prospect Info
John Lannan
Born 9/27/1984
LHP, WAS
He's not the same kind of super-prospect as teammate Ross Detwiler (heck, he's not even Josh Smoker or Jordan Zimmerman) but Lannan will probably be making a difference sooner, thanks to his advanced age compared to those other arms. Lannan is a control pitcher, who relies on location to make his high-80's fastballs work. He's added some strength and could be a workhorse for the Nationals, who will give him every chance to win a starting job and hold it, at least until the hotter arms are ready.
