Got the call up tonight. He's been raking the ball in AAA recently and has completely overhauled his approach. Hopefully he can come up and do something positive

His numbers have improved but im not sure Raking is a proper term for him hitting .258. I have no clue if he has completely changed his approach.

From Rotoworld

quote:

Crews has made some noticeable strides from an approach standpoint at the Triple-A level recently, being a bit more selective, while also making consistent hard contact. The 24-year-old former top prospect is hitting .291/.333/.527 with seven doubles, two homers and just 13 strikeouts in 14 games since May 1. He’ll get another opportunity with the Nationals and certainly has the talent to make an impact for fantasy managers. A wait-and-see approach seems like the right move, but Crews is worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper mixed leagues.

Jacob Young got hurt but this sounds like it's for Joey Weimer who has been awful this year

Is he a pitcher now?

If we’re playing make believe, then I’d rather bring back a pitcher or two.

He’s gotten twice as good as earlier in the year. He was hitting in the low to mid .100’s

I was told about a month ago he was irrevocably a bust and would never get back.

Basically reverting back to the college swing that the nationals changed because they didn't like how the swing would project to wooden bats and better pitching.

The Nationals have one of, if not the worst, development departments in the MLB.

Heard he was back in Baton Rouge re working his swing after the majors changed it. Whether it’s true or not,
