He was a Manatee, or a Sea Cow if you will?

As I was watching Baseball Tonight just now, I discovered that the Nationals starting pitcher this evening was Darrel Rasner. This probably doesn't mean much to anybody and frankly, it shouldn't. The only reason it means anything to me is that he was the #2 starter for the Single A Team that I used to work for last year. The fact that he started for the Nationals while they are still in the Wild Card race (somewhat) speaks volumes for how depleted the Nationals' farm system is. Rasner isn't a bad pitcher, he may even be a fourth starter in a few years. The problem is that he was pitching in the Florida State League last July. Frank Robinson doesn't get half the credit he deserves for what he's done with that team over the last few years.
