I don't know. You'd have to ask a scout.

From Geoff Morrow's midseason report card:

Quote

* 2B Steve Lombardozzi (.314, 4 HR, 23 RBI, 16 SB): Remarkably reliable in the field (2 E in 63 G), the 22-year-old leadoff hitter most definitely looks like a future major leaguer and is the Senators’ pace setter. A

Halfway through the AA season his numbers look like this:

AVG: .309
OBP: .366
SLG: .454
H: 81
2B: 12
3B: 7
HR: 4
RBI: 23
BB: 18
SO: 38
SB: 16/19

Hey, it could be a brain injury.

hammondsnats · « **Reply #56 on:** June 21, 2011, 10:05:44 am »

the IF in syracuse now looks pretty good.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #57 on:** June 21, 2011, 10:07:21 am »

Hell yeah

Well deserved promotion. Just don't know where he plays up here. He's kind of blocked. This team is really high on Danny and Ian now and for the future.

Would suck if we had to deal Lombo.

All true, but to have at least one ML ready prospect in AA-AAA at each position is where we'd like to be across the board. It's not too much depth yet.

So there is an open roster spot in harrisburg, lets see?, who to promote?

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #60 on:** June 21, 2011, 11:33:48 am »

McConnell got sent down to AA from AAA

kirubel94 · « **Reply #61 on:** June 21, 2011, 11:38:22 am »

Had my hopes up for a second.

exactly.

plenty of teams across the majors have that kind of depth ... hopefully we're on the right track of doing the same.

Check with your HR dept, they can explain your company's benefit plans and whether or not something like that is an injury or pre-existing condition.

how do they split time in Syracuse among Lombo and Antonelli? Do either play SS?

i'd like to think one can play 2B.

Antonelli has played 7 errorless games at SS this year in AAA

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #69 on:** June 21, 2011, 02:41:08 pm »

So if Lombardozzi is a long term 2d baseman, they could move Antonelli to SS and try to make him a utility infielder?

Positional Primacy: Second Base
by Jason Parks, Baseball Prospectus

http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=14337

Quote

Steve Lombardozzi (Nationals)
Requirements: 6-foot-0
TCF: He’s an average all-around player, with a plus-plus grit component and baseball bloodlines. Lombardozzi has well below-average power, but the bat itself is solid, and he shows the ability to make hard contact. His speed is average, but it plays up in game action. His work in the field is equally average, but it’s effective thanks to a healthy dirt-to-uniform ratio and instincts. He has a second-division future if his tools continue to play-up, but it’s a good bet he’ll have a reserve role on a 25-man roster as a floor.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #71 on:** June 23, 2011, 09:36:21 am »

Past 2 season he's maintained a .140 ISO. I don't know how that translates to MLB, but if he can maintain somewhere between .110 and .130 in MLB, that plops him in the middle of qualified second basemen this year. That's not great, but for the position that is not well below average. It looked like there was an up trend in power in the minors until May or so, but maybe that was wishfull thinkng. I still think his success will be geared to having a plus OBP and good walk rate (classic leadoff profile), which is not discussed.

BBQ · « **Reply #72 on:** June 25, 2011, 10:33:20 pm »

I'm gonna jump on this bandwagon now. I could see him playing 2B and Espinosa playing SS in our team's future. He hits for a solid average, and you know that it is a legitimate average judging from his BB/K and other things that tend to translate to the MLB.

RIGGLEMAN SMASH - ONLY crappy CF WITH NO HITTING ABILITY MAY LEAD OFF ARGH

Lombardozzi 3/4 yesterday and 2/5 the day before that. Hitting .438...
