Yepez has started to turn things around the past couple of weeks (.283 /.404 / .543 over 57 PAs, with 3 HRs, 10 BBs and 6 Ks). Time to swap him for Joey M?

tbh, I would not kick about him being offed, but I would bring up Blankenhorn. Lefty for lefty, rigty for righty. Wood for Rosario.

21 games, 89 PAs - .267 / .371 / .480, 4 HR, 14.6 BB%, 9 K%. With bad BABIP luck (.250)

Not good enough for the majors.

.850 OPS is pretty good. It'll fall in the majors some, but in comparison to Joey M's .581, it'd have to fall a lot. He has legit power, and somebody who walks more than he Ks is pretty valuable.

With Meneses sent down, he probably is in the running for a call up if there is somebody (Willingham?) the Nats can drop from the 40 man roster. Frankly, he deserves a shot more than Ramirez, but I can't see them pulling the plug on Harold so soon.

Looks like he's being officially called up:

What happens to these threads when they are closed?  I can't find the one for Wood...

they stay. They are just locked. For prospects like wood (https://www.wnff.net/index.php?topic=40251.0), you can link to them from the follow the prospects master thread.  One reason you can't find the Wood thread is about 50 or so FTP prospect threads were updated at the start of the month, so the master thread is the best way to go.

 For guys like Yepez (non-prospects, no longer rookie-eligible when called up), you just have to hunt a bit.
