http://washington.nationals.mlb.com/...=.jsp&c_id=was

Kearns, who was drafted by Bowden in the first round of the 1998 First-Year Player Draft, is having his best season, hitting .274 with 16 home runs and 50 RBIs in 87 games for Cincinnati. For the short term, Kearns is expected to play center field for the Nationals, but will eventually move to right.
