Washington Nationals promotion of Wilmer Difo odd, aggressive

Despite the fact that he has just 56 career plate appearances above A ball, the Nats called up 23-year-old middle infield prospect Wilmer Difo to replace Jayson Werth's spot on the roster Tuesday. This figures to be a short stay in the big leagues for the youngster, but is having him ride the pine in the majors what they really want to be doing?

When Jayson Werth hit the disabled list on Tuesday with a left wrist contusion, the Washington Nationals didn't have a lot of options on the forty man roster that could replace him.
