Hmm, some interesting moves. Why move Cornelio back to Wilmington after his dazzling Harrisburg debut?
Good to see Dickerson get a quick promotion to Fredericksburg. For a player of his reputation, it was a conservative move to send him to the FCL, and fortunately it seems that he was more than capable of going to A ball.
Any news on Lara’s injury? Been a brutal year for him so far.
Glad to see Schultz and Stehly get sent to Harrisburg. At their ages, it’s sink or swim time.
Cornelio was moved up because it was his day to pitch and Susana wasn’t available. A player once told me that the Nats align the rotations this way on purpose, which is why, for example, sometimes a guy from High-A will pitch at AAA then go right back down.
It’s not a good sign that the Nats signed so many veteran pitchers; one has to think that Lara or Susana, if not both, may go under the knife.
