WASHINGTON – The Nationals are off to a slower start than maybe even some of their most optimistic fans would have imagined.
And with a shaky infield defense, plus a third baseman getting sick on Sunday, some fans and those on social media are calling for reinforcements.
The most likely position player at Rochester that would fit that bill is infielder Luis García, 21, who has been playing mostly shortstop for manager Matt LeCroy with the Triple-A Red Wings in upstate New York.
“He made some errors the first part of the series at Toledo” to begin the season, LeCroy told Federal Baseball on Monday.
