He's been pitching great in relief for Potomac so far this year. Last year he was primarily a starter for Hagerstown and was just okay. Who made the decision to make him a reliever? So far, this decision has been great. He's only 23 (24 in Sept.). Is he considered a "prospect" lefty bullpen arm, or just organizational filler?</p> Brian — what’s the deal with Yunior Novoa?

He's a bit old for the Carolina League but the numbers are nice. I'd hope he gets a shot in Harrisburg soon to see if he's legit. If he were to turn into a lefthanded option out of a major league pen, I'm sure the Nats would consider that a rousing success.</p> e - From what I have heard/read, his future was most likely in the pen.
