Here today, gone tomorrow

Six days after signing with the Wild Things, catcher Marco Davalillo has been released. I haven't talked to anyone with the organization today, so I don't know why. Davalillo is from Venezuela, so it might be a Visa issue, though that's only a guess.

Washington has only two catchers under contract, and teams like to have a minimum of three, and usually four, catchers in camp for spring training. You have to think that one of the Wild Things' picks in next week's draft will likely be a catcher, which is not good news. The crop of catchers is usually weak at these tryouts.
