That’s a nice story on Montz but man Detweiler got smacked again today and Marrero is struggling bigtime too..

Montz’ progress casts new light on the decision to send Flores to Columbus rather than Harrisburg as originally planned. Any thoughts on what the Nats will do with Nieves when Lo Duca is activated?

Man nice story on Montz, what were the Nats thinking sending Javi to Columbus than Montz! Montz has a cannon of an arm from behind the plate! The bat will be up and down just with him being a catcher. In my opinion Montz should have gotten the chance in AAA !!!

Detwiler gave up 2 runs in 2/3 inning. Did he get hurt?

Justin- Do you mean Jesus, not Javi? I think that Flores is our next Major League catcher. We don’t want Montz sitting the bench in AAA.
Do I have that right?

PHS - No, Detwiler was not hurt. Just incredibly ineffective and wild. 40 pitches to the first six hitters. Repeated 3-ball counts. Lots of fouled off pitches.

He (Detwiler) was the same way when he played the Blue Rocks at home last week. He’s definately having control problems.

You definitely right that we dont want Montz sitting the bench but he definitely has proven that when given the chance at higher levels of play he can shine! He has moved up to the challenge every level the Nats have put him!!! When given the chance this guy can prove that hes the #1 catcher on any team hes on!!!
