You probably saw the Baseball America draft report:

That’s good.  But he’s 24 and should dominate at that level.  Move him up. 

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Let him get 100 PAs as a pro before moving him

That’s fair. But five years of college ball is a lot.  He’s playing agains 18-19 year olds.

Last year's other draftee SS, Marcus Brown, is in Wilmington. Brown was the 5th round choice, and hit a respectable .270 at Fred'burg, but hasn't quite found it in A+. Maybe the Nats want to keep Brown, Made, Glasser, and Armando Cruz from clumping together on one team?

Cruz is hitting a little above .300

Someone should get moved to Harrisburg around the end of May. Time to give up on Jordy Barley.

Cluff's time is probably coming to an end now. He's nothing more than a reserve at Rochester

Time for Kevin Made to be promoted to Harrisburg, making room at Wilmington for Glasser, Marcus Brown, and Gavin Dugas. Brown is not hitting much, even though he is a 5th rounder and Glasser a 10th.
