Which pitcher is up next when Williams gets sent down to get himself straight? He has good stuff, needs to build some confidence. So will it be Hanrahan? Fruto? Teddy Roosevelt?

All signs point to Joel Hanrahan

I don’t have that one on my Magic Eight Ball.
Another passable start for Estrada, though he’s not making much of a case for promotion.

Nice piece on Maxwell regarding his fan club and desire to play with the Nats. Now if he could hit above .200 in A ball, maybe he could get promoted to AA.
Fruto only gave up a run, but six walks is worrisome as his reputation for being erratic is being reinforced. This from a pitcher who has averaged almost 1 walk per two innings in the minors!
