Brian-
Thanks. I’m excited to see Zinicola and VanAllen get the promotions. I have not paid much attention to Brownlie. Is he a prospect, or an organizational guy moved up because pieces of the puzzle were being shifted?
Also, patience with Matt Chico shouldn’t be extended too much further, given that Bergmann already made the fall. Does the organization appear ready to give Colin Balester a try so early in the season, or might patience with Chico reflect patience they want to maintain with members of the Columbus rotation?

Regarding Chico, I think it’s more likely for O’Connor to get his spot in the rotation than Balester (and we might be far, far from Chico getting the hook at all), but it looks like Bacsik is our only option for lefty reliever to take O”Connor’s bullpen slot.
I wonder how likely it is that they would call back Schroder (who is doing an excellent job in Columbus) and go with all RHPs in the bullpen?

Since the Nats have so many left handed starters having a fully righted bullpen would not be totally out of the question since the opposition lineups will most likely be stacked with right handed batters. But, a lefty in the bullpen is always good thing.
