Need Tickets For Stephen Strasburg’s Next Start? http://bit.ly/bKtZBp

Seems odd that both players were suspended at the same time. I wonder if something happened between the two of them? Since they added Van Allen this still leaves them 1 roster spot short? Any news on when AJ Morris will be ready?

Any idea when Derek Norris will be back in the line-up for the P-Nats?

estuartj – if all goes according to plan, Norris should be in the line-up on Thursday

Brian, I think you confused Buffalo’s SP, Stoner, with Martin.
JD did pitch 6 2/3rds and gave up 7 hits, but he only allowed 3 ER while striking out 3 and walking 1.

Nice to see Kobernus raking. Between Kobernus, Desmond, and Espinosa we’re getting some decent infield prospects who may be solid complementary pieces. Do we know Espinosa will be back playing for Harrisburg? Their offense has been flat all season.

What number is the Nats 2nd pick is this year?
#8 by gmo - April 14th, 2010 at 15:01
Espinosa could be ready by this weekend.

@gmo Thanks much. Offensively challenged Harrisburg needs that man badly and we need some more position player prospect hope to help prod the front office to move Guzman if he continues to produce.

Harrisburg has been offensively challenged, but good lord, the big club is pitching challenged.
At this rate, Strasburg better be up by the end of the month. You can’t have the starters continue to put the team in a hole in the first 6 innings.
