Comments on: Carr Promoted to Syracuse http://nationalsprospects.com/2010/07/carr-promoted-to-syracuse/ News and Notes on the Nationals Minors from the perspective of the fan, sportswriter, and amateur scout Fri, 18 May 2012 02:26:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Sue Dinem http://nationalsprospects.com/2010/07/carr-promoted-to-syracuse/#comment-731 Sue Dinem Sat, 14 Aug 2010 11:30:21 +0000 http://nationalsprospects.com/?p=357#comment-731 Fixed it. I've been told that he really wanted to be a hitter but that the Nats convinced him that the only way he'd make it was as a pitcher. For his sake, I'd love to see him get put into an extra-inning game as a position player and get a home run; it wouldn't be unexpected, but it would still be fun. Fixed it.

I believe he only pitched a handful of innings in his career at OSU. Carr’s alma mater was actually Oklahoma State where he was a power-hitting first baseman.

It would be real good to see Moore keep it going. If he does, those are the stories that make this so much fun. Thanks Sue. It would be real good to see Moore keep it going.

But I think he's a lock. Bryce Harper would seem like a lock, but I'm of the mind that Rizzo won't throw him into the fire unless he absolutely rips apart the GCL, which is not a given (likely, but not a given). If Rizzo can sign Solis, he'll probably go. Beyond those three is a big mystery. Players generally don't repeat, but of the two AA guys, I could see Marrero going again. Lombardozzi is a dark horse. I will say that Burgess is looking less likely than two months ago. Moore will have to stay hot through the end of the year to get the nod. I'm looking forward to the next couple of series against the Blue Rocks and Keys to get a better sense of whether this hot streak is for real.

Our AA guys (Espinosa, Marrero) went last year. MaybeNorris again? Burgess? Lombardozzi? Moore? Speaking of AFL, who do you think goes? Our AA guys (Espinosa, Marrero) went last year.

Josh Johnson is being moved back up to make room for Soriano, who has 30+ errors (mostly on throws). Peacock is being moved up partly to qualify for the AFL, partly to replace Carr and/or Detwiler.
