Alex Meyer never appeared in a Major League game for the Nationals, but Washington was his first professional home: The Nats drafted the righty in the first round of the 2011 Draft, before trading him to Minnesota in the winter of 2012 for Denard Span.
Meyer eventually found his way to the Angels, where he's become a solid starter, posting a 113 ERA+ so far this season. But while it's been years since he's been part of the Nationals organization, he's still got plenty of friends from his time there -- like Washington's other first-round pick from 2011, Brian Goodwin.
