PERSONNEL DEPT.

On Thursday, Pete Orr was promoted from Class AAA Columbus, and selected for the Canadian Olympic team. But Orr's availability for the Games, he said, is dependent on his status: If he's demoted before Aug. 1, he'll head to China. If he's still with the Nationals, he'll stay put. "It's totally out of my hands," Orr said.
