Posted by Brian Oliver in Harrisburg (AA) on June 21st, 2010

The 23-year old had an excellent week for the Senators, hitting .448 (13-for-29) with three doubles, four homers, 12 RBI, seven runs scored, four walks, one stolen base and a .966 slugging percentage over seven games. Espinosa, who entered the season rated by Baseball America as the fifth best prospect in the Nationals organization, kicked off his week by hitting a home run in three straight games and finished the week with five multiple hit games, including combining to 5-for-7 with two home runs and five RBI in a doubleheader sweep at New Britain on Wednesday night. The 6’0”, 190 lb. slugger ranked first among all Eastern League players in total bases (28) and extra-base hits (7) last week. He also tied for first in hits (13) and home runs (4), ranked second in RBI (12), slugging percentage (.966) and OPS (1.481) and tied for second in runs scored (7) and doubles (3). Danny, who was a Carolina League All-Star after hitting .264 with 18 home runs and 90 runs scored with the Potomac Nationals last year, was selected by the Washington Nationals in the third round of the 2008 draft after batting .303 over 168 career games at Long Beach State University.
Senators Make Series of Moves
Posted by Brian Oliver in Harrisburg (AA), Potomac (A), Syracuse (AAA) on May 26th, 2010
H/T to Geoff Morrow of the Patriot News with the information … the Nationals have added RHP Jason Jones to the roster in Harrisburg.
In six minor league seasons, the 6-5, 225-pound Jones, likely recently signed as a minor league free agent by the Washington Nationals, has a 48-52 record, a 4.12 ERA and 455 strikeouts and 181 walks in 771.2 innings
UPDATE (10:48PM)
Actually, the Senators made a few moves:
- RHSP Erik Arnesen and RHRP Mike MacDougal promoted from Harrisburg to Syracuse
- RHP Jason Jones added to Harrisburg
- IF Ofilio Castro placed on the DL
- IF Tim Pahuta and RHRP Cole Kimball promoted from Potomac to Harrisburg
Harrisburg’s roster is all set. Syracuse will need to make one move to open a spot. Potomac is going to need to add two players (one could very well be 3B Stephen King whose 50 game suspension will be over shortly).
