I'm surprised by the DFA, but since my hopes of seeing someone exciting get the 40-man spot are dashed, I'm not hoping the opening in Norfolk at least gets Adley ABs in Triple-A and that much closer to the Majors. 

I don't think AAA is any closer to the majors than AA when it comes to Adley.

I don't think anyone predicted a DFA.

Of course he might clear.

Never been a fan but his defense improved and much worse on 40 man, puzzling. 
 

Since the Os DFA-Ed Rodgers, he’s had two great starts in AAA for the Nats. I feel like they cut bait with him way too soon giving his surgery.

I think Frobby posted once that a pretty significant group that make the majors spend very little time there.

So a five year (at least) career isn't bad at all.

Put it this way: Sisco was the 61st pick in the draft.   Of the 56 players picked in that spot, only six have had more at bats in the majors than Sisco.   One of those was Josh Bell, who for some reason slipped to 61st but received a $5 mm bonus to sign.    

So, I’d call Sisco a disappointment but not a bust.

He was an old school overslot guy like you don't see anymore.

Back when an actual first round talent could be pried away from a college commitment by throwing stacks of 100's at him.

I’m more surprised of the addition of Thomas Eschelman for the start than I am the DFA of Sisco. Moves like this make me reconsider getting myself invested in following baseball. Eschelman has a 6+ ERA and will completely bomb up here and everyone knows it meanwhile there are other options in the organization who worked hard and have gotten positive results and are being passed over all so that the ML team stays as uncompetitive as possible. It’s one thing to rebuild and intentionally tank in theory but when it’s so obvious that losing is the actual goal and moves are made with the explicit intention of losing it’s just bleh...doesn’t feel good as a fan. It’ll be cool when they’re winning again but this is type of crap is bad for baseball.
