DSL Update
Another D-Nats pitcher and a position player were sent to Florida this past week. The former is fairly typical, but the latter begs all sorts of questions as the 17-y.o. (turns 18 in six weeks) is neither tearing it up (.596 OPS) nor burning up the basepaths (3-of-7 SB’s) or showing an unusually high range factor (a Jeter-esque 3.88). The team went 2-4 to drop back down .500 at 30-30 with two weeks left to play.
