]]> The Washington Nationals have recalled left-hander Ross Detwiler, their first-round pick in the 2007 draft. The Nats tried something similar with a pitcher back in ‘03, seemed to work out okay for them. Kid by the name of Chad Cordero?

The other amusing part of the story linked above is that apparently shortstop Felipe Lopez is no longer speaking with the media. I guess Lopez is happy to let his .246/.309/.360 line speak for itself.

With the sixth pick in the 2007 draft, the Washington Nationals have selected Missouri State left-hander Ross Detwiler. Although there are concerns about Detwiler’s small frame, many observers considered him to be the second best southpaw in the draft, behind only Vanderbilt’s David Price.

What they’re saying:

He showed the ability to command the ball better this year than in the past to go along with raw stuff better than the average pitchability southpaw.
