Keep an eye out the next few days to see what Jim Bowden does with Tony Blanco, who had a pretty decent spring with the Nationals:

BATTERS BA SLG OBA AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO
Blanco .289 .368 .378 38 2 11 3 0 0 6 5 10

I’d seriously doubt if they’ll keep him on the roster, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Bowden didn’t try to work out a deal with DanO to try to hold onto him outside of the Rule V path. My guess is that he will end up being returned to us.

Later,
Tom
