Honestly the Nationals seem to be making all the right moves with SS including bringing him up to face some of the weaket lineups in baseball for his first 6 or 7 starts. They resisted the pressure to start the season with him, effectively buying time and getting another year of control over his contract situation. They also have seemingly brought him up the ladder rapid enough to let him get some experience without too much stress. He will have plenty of that once he gets to the majors as he is going to be expected to pitch better than any other rookie maybe ever has. That isn't saying that he will or wont but the expectation levels for this guy are extreme.

Yeah, I originally gave him 8 starts before his arm falls off. They've done a good job, he might make it to his third season before it falls off. Either way it was happening at some point.
