Nationals acquire pitching prospect Jhonny Nunez from Dodgers for Marlon Anderson
|
|
The Washington Nationals today acquired top pitching prospect, 20 year-old righthander Jhonny Nunez, from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for infielder Marlon Anderson and cash considerations. Nationals Vice President and General Manager Jim Bowden made the announcement.
Nunez, in his third pro season, went 6-0 with a 1.58 ERA in 10 games (seven starts) for the Gulf Coast League Dodgers in 2006, his first season playing in the United States. Nunez, who stands 6-foot-3, limited opposing GCL batters to a .177 batting average en route to leading the league in wins. He also ranked among GCL leaders in innings pitched (first with 57.0), strikeouts (second with 56) and ERA (third).
In three professional seasons -- the first two of which were spent in the Dominican Summer League -- Nunez is 14-4 with a 2.02 ERA in 36 games (25 starts).
Anderson, 32, was hitting .274 with five home runs and 23 RBI in 109 games with Washington at the time of the trade.
