So, what becomes of Carlos Daniel Alvarez Lugo?

 

"We have made the baseball development decision that we've been contemplating for a while to go back to one team, presumably higher-quality players for only one team. Consequently we released 14 players today in addition." (Stan Kasten, via Nationals Journal, 2/26/2009)

"I feel bad, really bad." (Carlos Daniel Alvarez Lugo, via Washington Post, 2/26/2009)

Wow! Nats blow up DR Operations

As an aside, does the kid young man who started this whole thing, the player formerly known as Esmailyn Gonzalez, stay, or does he go?

Obvious answer, right? Go?
