Brian Goodwin is playing baseball again but not at AAA Syracuse for the Washington Nationals.  He is playing in AA Harrisburg.  There are many times when players are injured and are sent to the minors to get in shape before being called back up.   This is what is happening here since Brian has not played since mid-July last year because of injury.  Six games played Brian is hitting 318.  It won't be long before he is sent back to Syracuse.

Hobbs Johnson is 2-0 at Buloxi Ms after winning earlier this week.  His ERA is 1.68.  Those type numbers if they continue will send Hobbs to AAA by season end.
