Three Pitchers Reassigned To Minor-League Camp
Martis, Bisenius and Chico sent packing for the minors
A day sooner than expected, the Nationals announced that three pitchers have been sent to minor-league camp…
- Shairon Martis
- Matt Chico
- Joe Bisenius
While Martis and Chico each pitched an inning this week, Bisenius was sent down without any appearances. All three had been removed from the 40-man roster this past offseason. Now they will be presumably battling for a position on the Syracuse staff, which is not necessarily a given with the influx of talent from Harrisburg (e.g. Tom Milone, Ryan Tatusko) and contending relievers such as Adam Carr and Cole Kimball.
Yes, the Syracuse roster will be interesting prospect wise.
Marerro starting another game at first base … LaRoche’s
sore shoulder creating opportunity. Trade possibilities? Still
seem to need more prospects for the farms?
Not news on these three guys. Martis should be glad that he at least got to pitch in a big league camp game. Bisenius and Chico were not so fortunate.
Get it together, Hague!
“Wang showed a good breaking ball at times, and wasn’t helped by rookie shortstop Rick Hague, who made two errors in the simulated game.”

I’m impressed with Marrero. His defense appears to be really solid.
‘Solid’ is the best compliment that I’ve ever seen on Marrero’s defense.
If folks could live with Dunn, they can live with Marrero. He won’t make you forget J.T. Snow but at 22, he’s still learning the position and has room to improve.
what if we couldn’t live with Dunn?
Based on the tweets today, it sounds like Marrero’s getting better than Dunn.
He’s still got to show more power for me. Hopefully, he’ll do that in AAA for the Chiefs.
