Washington Nationals' skipper Matt Williams discussed the somewhat surprising decision to call infield prospect Wilmer Difo up to the majors today and what the plans are for the 23-year-old infielder while he's in the majors with the Nats.
Since the decision to call Wilmer Difo up this morning caught many by surprise, Washington Nationals' skipper Matt Williams was asked to go through the Nats' thinking in bringing the 23-year-old infielder up to the majors today with Jayson Werth on the DL (retroactive to 5/16) with a left wrist contusion. Williams said there were a number of reasons that Difo made sense for the Nationals.
