If you are a baseball fan, like myself, I want you to drop what you are doing and read this well-written piece by Washington Post correspondent and former Nats beat writer Barry Svrluga discussing the in’s and out’s of the development of players in the Dominican Republic. It is accompanied by great pictures taken by photograph Sarah Voison with some samples below. This comes on the heels of the disastrous Smiley Gonzalez case in the Nationals organization that resulted in the resignation of Nats GM Jim Bowden, shut down of one of the Nationals’ Dominican League affiliates, and countless other jobs within the organization.
