| Anthony Rendon not an option at 2B just yet |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(5/21/13) Nationals infield prospect Anthony Rendon has started the process of learning to play second base. He made his fifth start at the position for Double-A Harrisburg Monday.
It begs the question with Danny Espinosa struggling: Are the Nationals looking for Rendon to possibly take over at second base at the major-league level? Nationals manager Davey Johnson said that's not the plan quite yet.
"We like him -- we like him a lot," Johnson said of Rendon, per FOX Sports. "But putting him at second at the major-league level, he’s not there yet. He’s not (playing second) specifically. He’s just occasionally going over there."
Johnson added reserve infielder Stephen Lombardozzi and Triple-A infielder Zach Walters are options ahead of Rendon, who is widely considered the team's best prospect, if the team made a decision to replace Espinosa in the starting lineup.
Rendon continues to rake for Harrisburg. His slash line through 30 games is .346/.654/1.136. He has two triples, six home runs, 11 doubles and 23 RBI.

| Anthony Rendon proving too good for Double-A |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(5/15/13) Nationals third base prospect Anthony Rendon has thrived since his demotion to the minors a few weeks back. In his first 11 games since returning to Double-A Harrisburg, Rendon is batting .436 (17 for 39) with two home runs, six doubles, nine walks and nine RBI.
"I didn't think that getting sent down was a negative," Rendon said, per MLB.com. "Honestly, not that I didn't care, but I knew my stint wasn't going to be that long under the circumstances, so I wanted to make the best of it while I was there. And then I came back here and kept doing the same thing I was doing."
Rendon's slash line through 25 games is .356/.496/.609/1.105. He's added four home runs, 10 doubles and 16 RBI, while recording more walks (23) than strikeouts (18).
"Tremendous talent. It's fun to watch," Harrisburg manager Matt LeCroy said. "I think he's got a little bit more confidence coming down and realizing how difficult the game is up there and then you come down here and it's not as hard. To his credit, he's worked hard, he's developed a routine from Day 1, and it's carried over. He's started seeing the rewards for his work."

| Back in minors, Anthony Rendon sparkling |
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com
(5/13/13) After an eight-game stint with the Nationals earlier this season, third baseman Anthony Rendon was squeezed from the roster following Ryan Zimmerman's return from the disabled list. But the organization's top prospect doesn't appear to be fazed by the demotion back to Double-A Harrisburg, producing a .451 batting average with eight RBI in his first nine games.
The 22-year-old has posted multiple hits in six of those outings, and six of his 14 total hits in that span have gone for doubles. For his efforts, Rendon was named the Eastern League Player of the Week and is now hitting .354 overall on the season.

| Anthony Rendon soaks up major experience |
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com
(5/3/13) It may have been brief, but Nationals prospect Anthony Rendon said his nearly two-week stint with the parent club gave him a glimpse of his future. The 22-year-old Rendon, widely considered the team's top prospect, was sent back to Double-A Harrisburg Friday after Ryan Zimmerman was activated from the disabled list.
"It was awesome," he told The Washington Post. "I think it’s been a good experience. I got a taste of what it’s going to be like ... and I know what to work on when I go back and I know what to look forward to if I get to come back."
After having one hit in his first three games, Rendon reached base in his final four outings and finished with a .240 batting average.
"He's done very well in the field and he’s had some awfully good at-bats," manager Davey Johnson said. "It’s not going to be long before he’s back here. He’s a good player."

| Nationals to send Anthony Rendon down |
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(5/2/13) Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon will be sent down to Double-A Harrisburg after Thursday's game against the Braves, according to the Washington Times. Rendon will travel with the Nationals to Pittsburgh Friday before joining the team in Harrisburg. Ryan Zimmerman is expected to come off the disabled list to take Rendon's place on the roster.
Rendon closed out his stay with the major-league team with one of his best performances, as he went 2 for 3 with a walk and a run scored in a 3-1 win over the Braves.
Rendon batted .240 with a .367 on-base percentage and one extra-base hit in eight appearances.

| Anthony Rendon likely would have been better than the sixth overall pick in the 2011 draft if not for a strained shoulder late in his college career, and he likely would be thought of even higher if not for a fractured ankle that sidelined him for all but 43 games in 2012. Those hypotheticals should tell you two things: He's an extremely talented hitter and he's extremely injury prone. The former is the reason why you should stick with him in Fantasy. He's only 22, after all. Maybe a couple of freak injuries pinned him with an undeserved label. If he's able to shed it, he could be another Evan Longoria or David Wright in time. Yeah, he's that good. He brings an advanced approach from Rice University, where he was named College Player of the Year in 2010, and he's at the age where he's ready as soon as he proves he's ready. Of course, another of those esteemed third basemen, Ryan Zimmerman, currently blocks his path to the majors and figures to do so for the duration of his seven-year contract. Though the Nationals have toyed with moving Rendon to second base, that transition might not come so quickly, especially if he has trouble staying on the field. Barring an injury to Zimmerman, Rendon is unlikely to make a significant impact in seasonal formats this year. (Updated 1/4/13) |
