In 2011, the Nationals were picking 6th overall, where they got a great college hitter with injury concerns …
The annual baseball roadtrip is coming a little early this year (July in 2011, August in 2010), as I head west this year (north in 2011, south in 2010) to Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia for the next seven days.
The goal, as always, is to keep the site running as best as I can from the free WiFi of budget motels in the evenings after games and/or the mornings over the “continental breakfasts,” but the News & Notes are likely to be a little thinner and the responses to site comments a bit more sporadic.

Sometimes rehabs giveth and sometimes they taketh — and sometimes it’s both. Rehabbing Chris Marrero singled twice (one flare, one line drive) and drove in one but two grooved fastballs (read: no-doubt-about-it HRs) by rehabbing Ryan Mattheus tied and lost the game in the 8th as the Potomac Nationals fell 3-2 in the final home …
Shut out 3-0 in the opener, but a 6-1 bounce back in the nightcap, the Potomac Nationals split the doubleheader with the Salem Red Sox, snapping a five-game home win streak. Nathan Karns took the hill in Game One, having been hammered in his High-A debut on Tuesday, and gave folks an immediate jot of …
