Description:

Now What? September 4, 2020 It s Labor Day weekend. For a minors guy, this means the end of the season. In a good year, there might be another week or two of games, perhaps culminating in a team picture hoisting a hunk of metal, to use the parlance of Herr Manfred. But this is not a good year. It s the Continue Reading MLB-MiLB Talks Resume August 29, 2020 Baseball America has reported that MLB has laid out a proposal for minor-league baseball for 2021 and beyond, as talks between MiLB and MLB resumed this week – the first face-to-face discussions since April 22. Earlier this month, MiLB formed a new negotiating team as Rob Manfred Lite MiLB President Pat O Conner deemed the previous Continue Reading Rule 5 Pick Sterling Sharp Returned August 28, 2020 As noted in the comments, RHP Sterling Sharp has indeed cleared waivers and was returned to the Nationals yesterday. Officially, he was placed on the AAA Fresno roster. It is not clear whether or not he will be sent to the Alternate Training site in Fredericksburg.Sharp had been the first Nats player taken in the MLB phase of the Rule 5 Draft since 2013 when the White Sox plucked away C Adrian Nieto and managed to keep the catcher on the 25-man roster all year. The irony is that Washington partially contributed to Miami s move by tagging Sharp for five runs on three hits and three walks over just a 1/3rd an inning this past Sunday. However, he was also ineffective in his penultimate outing, which saw the Mets get to the northpaw for two runs on a Robinson Canó HR, though he also walked two and hit a batter over 2 innings.Sharp made four appearances total for Miami, with seven runs (six earned) on seven hits (one HR), five walks, and one Victor Robles over five and 1/3rd innings. Catching Up on Transactions August 27, 2020 Yesterday, the Nats sent down IF Carter Kieboom to make room for LHP Sean Doolittle. Quotes because in this surreal season, the move doesn t have the same meaning. Ordinarily, it d mean Kieboom would go back to the minors so he can play every day rather than sit the bench. Instead, he ll scrimmage and do the Continue Reading From the Archives: August 24 August 24, 2020 Wil Crowe became the latest prospect to make his MLB debut, thanks in no small part to the pandemic, joining Seth Romero, Luis Garcia, and journeymen Dakota Bacus and Kyle Finnegan. Unfortunately, the almost-26-y.o. Crowe also got the call because Stephen Strasburg succumbed to injury *Forrest Gump pause* again. Back again we go, to when things made Continue Reading From the Archives: August 19 August 19, 2020 Yesterday would have been the All-Star game in the New York-Penn League, and in years past, we d be speculating on who d get the bump to Harrisburg to be eligible for the Arizona Fall League. Instead, the longest offseason ever continues and there s no fall league in 2020. It s difficult to get that excited about the Continue Reading Garcia Gets the Call August 14, 2020 Injuries continue to ravage the Nationals, as a broken wrist by Starlin Casto opened the door for Washington s No. 2 prospect Luis Garcia. The 20-y.o. becomes the second prospect and the third notable minor-leaguer to be added to the 28-man roster, joining Seth Romero yesterday and Dakota Bacus earlier today. Bacus, who was acquired in Continue Reading Romero Smoked in MLB Debut August 13, 2020 The combination of injuries (Sam Freeman, Roenis Elías), ineffectiveness (Sean Doolittle), and a dash of COVID-19 (Fernando Abad) changed the adjective from beleaguered to major-leaguer as LHP Seth Romero was added to the 28-man roster today. The #11 (MLBP)/#13 (BA) prospect had never pitched above Low-A and hadn t pitched in a professional game in nearly Continue Reading Transaction Update August 11, 2020 Baseball America has released its latest transaction post and for the first time in three weeks, there was an entry for the Washington baseball team. The Nats signed Paul Witt, a senior from VCU who turns 23 in October. Witt posted a line of .333/.494/.476 with 21 hits and 15 walks in 17 games way Continue Reading From the Archives: August 7 August 7, 2020 Well, roughly a month to go before this stopgap measure of keeping the site going will be gone. As noted in the comments, Baseball America has updated its Top 30 list, which I opted not to write about because I kind of, sort of need to save something for the post-offseason (not to mention, Mr. Continue Reading
