The Washington Nationals are perhaps opening a hockey training camp? Or maybe mining the Canadian market for players? In any event, this tid-bit from Barry Svrluga’s blog today:

The player to be named in the Ray King-to-Milwaukee trade of Sept. 4 is South Atlantic League batting champ Andrew Lefave, a 1B/OF. He hit .345 with 17 homers and 25 doubles for Class A West Virginia this season. Among minor league players with at least 350 at-bats, he ranked second in batting average this year. Lefave, 23, was a non-drafted free agent who signed with the Brewers last year. This gives them a first baseman for Class AA Harrisburg next year, potentially, if Josh Whitesell moves up to Class AAA Columbus.

Also fun to note, further down on the blog post, are Barry’s “top moments at RFK.” I love that I was there for #’s 1 and 2. Heehee. Apologies to Schlesinger. Double HeeHee! ;-)
