Updates on Wang, Flores, Detwiler, Willems, more
Updates and bits of news came tumbling out of Mike Rizzo's press conference
today. Here is a quick rundown of what to know. Before the game, I'll have a
longer post on Jason Marquis and his belief that he could return very soon.
For now:
*--Jesus Flores, Ross Detwiler and Chien-Mien Wang are all progressing pretty
well and a few weeks away from heading out on rehab assignments, General
Manager Mike Rizzo said, with Detwiler the furthest along because his injury
(hip surgery) did not involve his arm. Wang is throwing off a mound and in a
few days will throw against live hitters in batting practice.
*--Jordan Zimmermann is "well ahead of schedule" in his recovery from Tommy
John surgery, Rizzo said. Zimmermann is now throwing to live batting at 75 to
80 percent of his capacity. "Jordan is doing extremely well," Rizzo said.
"Another guy you have to really pull back so he doesn't overdo it, overwork
himself."
*--Colton Willems, the 22nd overall pick in the 2006 draft, informed the
Nationals he is retiring. Willems had stalled this year at Class A
Hagerstown, where he compiled a 9.49 ERA in five games as a reliever.
"He came into the office and said he wanted to retire," Rizzo said. "We had a
long conversation with him, [Director of Player Development] Doug Harris did.
Just frustrated with his development and developmental process and the stuff
he was featuring."
*--With Ryan Zimmerman healthy, there is no longer an open third base spot to
give at-bats to Adam Kennedy and keep Kennedy, Cristian Guzman and Ian
Desmond on the field at once. Given Desmond's impressive start, he will
rarely be the odd man out. "There's going to be sometimes when Kennedy or
Guzman gets the short end every now and then," Manager Jim Riggleman said.
Desmond is "a player we believe is going to be a long-term, everyday answer
for us at shortstop," Rizzo said. "Believe me, his best days are ahead of
him."
*--Asked for any minor leaguers making a particular impression, Rizzo named
only Potomac outfielder Michael Burgess. This weekend, Harris was in Potomac
watching the P-Nats. "I think he is on the forefront of having a breakout
year," Rizzo said. "He's got all the tools and the ability level to be an
impact, everyday player for us in the near future."
