Here is the minor league report for the 2010 Syracuse Chiefs, the Triple-A affiliate for the Washington Nationals.

It is going to be a boring first few months of the season in Syracuse for Washington Nationals fans as all of the teams top prospects are at the lower levels of the farm system outside of outfielder Justin Maxwell.

Although Maxwell at age 26 is not the greatest prospect either with a .257 career minor league batting average and has shown a propensity to strike out at the major league level in his two short trials there, with a total of 115 at bats and 40 whiffs.

How they rank:

Baseball America: Maxwell (8)
Keith Law: none
John Sickels: Maxwell (8)
