First Strasburg, Now Brian?

Nationals Farm Authority is moving on to greener pastures. I can certainly understand the struggle to maintain a blog presence in the middle of a major professional or life change. And lord knows this franchise doesn't give much reason to stay engaged 24/7/365.

But Brian had a great run and definitely filled a major gap in coverage that won't be filled anytime soon. Around the league, there aren't many prospect blogs that were as thorough as NFA, and unlike most of the Natmosphere bloggers, Brian actually did some reporting, cultivating relationships with minor league affiliates and from time to time breaking news before anyone else.

I'm sure we'll still hear from Brian from time to time, but for now it's a bad day to be a Nationals prospect hound.
