First, you are dealing with 2 Top 30 prospects who are both on the 40 man rosters. Lance will be brought back up when the rosters expand and they want to get him work in the minors instead of just pitching every now and then. Leatherman is a roster filler. No offense to Darren but that is what he is. Jim Bowden couldn't pick Leatherman out of a crowd of 2. Again, that is just the way it is. Darren this may be your first chance to be an agent. Do you pursue other teams or try to resign him with the Nationals???? Nationals have by far the worst pitching for top to bottom as any organization in baseball. the gooose RCR -

In that case, I would love to see the guys above Dan be moved up, creating space for Dan at the next level. That’s a fair comment.

Maybe I misunderstood the article though, when you said it hurts to see the comment made on biglead.com I thought you were saying Dan deserved to be called up to the pro level. You cannot make the comparison to how the nationals are performing competition at the A level is nothing compared to hitters Dan would face in the majors. There are pitchers at the AA and AAA levels in the organization who have better make-up then Dan and are more worthy of getting a promotion within the organization.

In essence, it shoudlnt hurt you or him too bad in my opinoin.
