You might want to have him do the next one for Harrisburg (so he could face tougher competition and so you don't have to deprive J. Zimmermann of another start after his performance yesterday); OTOH, Harrisburg will be on the road (at Trenton), and usually you like to have rehab appearances (especially by pitchers) in the home park (which is where Potomac will be next Sunday).</p> One interesting question: If you’re right and they decide that Hill will do another rehab start, where would he do it?

If Myers is assigned to Potomac that would be one hell of a pitching staff.</p> <p>Quick Hagerstown question: Have you heard anything about the Smolinski/King position changes? Are these long term projects?</p> Great work Brian, good to see Zimmerman is off to a good start. If Myers is assigned to Potomac that would be one hell of a pitching staff.

Quick Hagerstown question: Have you heard anything about the Smolinski/King position changes? Are these long term projects?

It appears the Nationals are going to see if King can handle 3B. His bat profiles well there. The Smolinski move was a surprise to me this spring. Reports I read had the Nationals moving him between LF and 2B. If he can handle 2B, his bat has the chance to be above average there.</p> <p>I will ask to see if there is anyting more that can be discussed</p> Chris - I can ask regarding Smolinski/King.
