    just read that Columbus released Robin Jennings when they re-activated Larry Broadway from the DL. did they just plain release him, or send him back down to H’burg?

    He is released. It’s a shame to see the comeback story end but I’m sure the Nationals would rather see if Broadway can play (in Columbus) and Mortimer and/or Whitesell can play (in Harrisburg).
