And Then There Were 42

The Nats made a few more cuts today, optioning Emiliano Fruto, Beltran Perez, and Chris Schroeder to the minors. They also reassigned Winston Abreau, Danny Ardoin, Brandon Harper, Arnie Munoz and most interestingly: Colby Lewis and Praise the Lord, Jose Macias!

Macias, an old favorite of Manny Acta seemed like he had as good a chance as any of making the team. But with Ronnie Belliard's signing and the emergence of Josh Wilson, that window was thankfully shut.

Lewis hopefully will still kick around the organization in the minors. He's far from a great pitcher, but we're likely to need a warm body or three between now and October. If you missed it, here's everything you ever didn't want to know about Mr. Lewis.
