  3. A few observations:
    1) Why is Mike Gonzalez in the organization at this point? Perhaps he’s that veteran presence that teaches the Nationals culture that rZo The Scout seems to covet.

    2) Seems like a lot of roster churn for the Senators and P-Nats. Any ideas why that is?

    3) So sad to see that I now favor two players that struggle with strike zone recognition due to elevated K%: Drew Ward and a man who shall not be named because this would stain him with a bad statistical

    4) Man, I’m out of it. Seems like the DSL just started and they’ve played 17 games already!

    1. I hope you don’t mean Michael Taylor he with the .415 OBP? He has offset his strikeouts with 36 walks.

      As Jeff so aptly states Drew Ward is still very young. Everyone was hoping for a Harper-like surge to the majors but
      it looks like he’s going to end up graduating from every level.

      Weston Davis? I sure hope some of those lefties like McKenzie Mills bear out. They seem bereft of healthy, high ceiling lefties again.

  4. I forgot. How in God’s name did you have time to do GBI while you’re on the road and going bare bones on the bullet points and game summaries?

  5. Drew Ward is just 18.
    The DL lists@AA/ A ball sure lead to
    The pitching heavy June draft haul.
    Repeat. Weston Davis is this year’s
    AJ Cole steal from a Florida NCAA
