The guy fought his was back from a AA demotion last year and was considered a long shot prospect at best to ever contribute at this level.

Cassel is also not listed as a starter for any of the Beavers' next five games, but neither is Hensley.

I guess it would have been nicer if they had managed to actually win two of these games, but, eh, it's the Nationals. Beggars can't be choosers.

As one of the resident propsect experts on this site, I'll certainly defer to your knowledge here. How does Blanks' defense compare to that of Adrian? Also, how does Blank's plate discipline compare to Adrian's? 83: Wow Peter, that’s quite an endorsement.

Yes, Ryan Howard & Kyle Blanks were the subject of my comparison (was that proper English?)... I really think Blanks might make Gonzalez expendable...
