September callup possible?
Taylor Jordan outduels Phillies stud prospect Jesse Biddle today.Complete game shutout: 7 IP 4 H 0 R 0 BB 7 K. 0.84 ERA in AA.
* JORDAN PRODUCES WITHOUT HIS BEST STUFF: Scheduled starter Taylor Jordan had his outing delayed an inning, but he still gave the Senators seven terrific innings. The 24-year-old yielded two runs (one earned) on three hits and a walk, striking out four, as he improved to 3-0 with a 1.08 ERA in five Double-A starts.* LECROY ON JORDAN: LeCroy gave his report on the Nationals' No. 13 prospect: "He has an above-average fastball, 94-95 mph, good sink. He has really good command of the fastball to both sides of the plate, has a plus change up. His slider to me is his third best pitch, and it's not bad. But he showed me something today. He didn't have his best stuff, but he battled. [After two hit batsmen and an error in the fifth] a lot of young pitchers would get rattled, but he slowed himself down. To me that was the biggest part of the ballgame, and he kept us in it. When you do the stuff he was doing today -- throwing changeups on 3-2 counts, 2-0 changeups without his best fastball command -- that shows you he's got a chance to pitch in the big leagues. When you do that, that's a formula for success."
