He didn't really want to be in Harrisburg, was in a funk and wanted out. Just passing that information along, don't have any personal acknowledgment of that. But, that would explain why Montz was DFA'd.<br /><br />The Nieves/Burke situation has no bearing really over the last few weeks of this season. As we wrote yesterday, Washington needs to find a way this off-season to solidify their catching situation. Derek Norris is too far away. Flores is now recovering from Surgery. They need some quality, not just bodies in their system, something lacking right now.Screech's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01094199653375184305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-47850599770714793042009-09-18T12:38:32.450-04:002009-09-18T12:38:32.450-04:00I think Zim still needs to work on throwing to fir...I think Zim still needs to work on throwing to first base after a routine ground ball before he's worthy of a Gold Glove. Zim has proven he can make spectacular plays, but until he can consistently make the routine ones someone else deserves the Gold Glove.<br />SBF, I'm interested in seeing your comments on the Nieves/ Burke situation. Luke Montz had an off year, but I think he deserved a spot for the final two weeks.<br />P.S.
