Will Brad Peacock continue his meteoric rise up the organization with a 9\/1 callup? Photo bleacherreport.com<\/p><\/div>\n

Davey Johnson <\/strong>has already called for them.\u00a0 Jordan Zimmermann<\/strong>‘s innings limit necessitates one of them.\u00a0 Livan<\/strong>‘s woes beg for one of them.\u00a0 Who are they?\u00a0 Starting Pitching prospects.\u00a0 And when the calendar hits September 1st, the day MLB rosters can expand, we should be seeing a few of them make their way to the Nats roster.\u00a0 We’re probably going to see guys already on the 40-man make appearances (Chris Marrero<\/strong>?\u00a0 Corey Brown<\/strong>?), but who else?<\/p>\n

But, the signings of Anthony Rendon<\/strong> and Matt Purke<\/strong> filled the two empty slots on the 40-man roster created by the trades of Jerry Hairston<\/strong> and Jason Marquis<\/strong>.\u00a0 So if you believe reports that the Nats are calling up<\/a> the likes of Steve Lombardozzi<\/strong>, Brad Peacock<\/strong> and Tom Milone<\/strong> (in addition to adding Stephen Strasburg<\/strong> back to the active roster for a September 6th or 7th re-debut), then we’ve got some 40-man moves to make.<\/p>\n

Here’s my predictions on how the team will make room for 4 new 40-man players (remember, Strasburg is currently on the 60-day DL and does not count towards the 40 active players on the “40-man” roster).<\/p>\n
