Brian-
Any insights or rumors that you have heard from your sources about our potential picks tomorrow? Just curious- thanks
Ryan – My best guess posting should be up.
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).
