Nats Name AFL Roster
- OF Donovan Casey
- SS Jackson Cluff
- RHP Cole Henry
- C Drew Millas
- RHP Todd Peterson
- C Israel Pineda
- RHP Jackson Rutledge
It’s worth noting that only Casey and Pineda are Rule 5-eligible, and only Casey and Millas did not spend significant time on the I.L. I think it’s pretty obvious the primary M.O. here is to get more reps.
I wouldn’t speculate on why Evan Lee was not among the seven. Remember, that was not an official report and we shouldn’t castigate The Nats Report either; they got it mostly right, and let’s face it: The Nats aren’t exactly above floating trial balloons.
Sorry to cut things short, but I was finishing up the final GBI before I checked on this. Stay tuned.
A sweet story about the FredNats.

Can confirm on Vandy – she’s a good dog.
So Luke, is Wu and Vandy in the press box with you during the game?
This was the 1st feelgood story ever involving Silber.
Yep. Wu’s the video director and can be heard giving directions to the video guys for the MiLB.tv feed — especially during the Nat’l Anthem as he’s only the one talking. Like any (every) dog, Vandy will come to visit when there’s food. But mostly, she does indeed lay low and/or sleep amidst the hubbub.
Just some random stats on a couple of pitchers who didn’t make the cut…
Alex Troop: 3.35 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 6.67 K/BB, 29% K, 4.4% BB
Evan Lee: 4.32 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 3.25 K/BB, 31.4% K, 9.7% BB
