I saw that there was a pitcher on Atlanta that was in the same situation as Strasburg. What Atlanta did though was start him in the bullpen, then move him to the rotation so they could use him the whole year. I forgot his name and someone can correct me if i'm wrong, but that seemed like a much better strategy.


Yeah, Medlen was spectacular this year.

The problem with this whole debate is that everyone will try to justify their decision with hindsight if the Nationals lose. The fact of the matter is that there is no one correct answer to this question. Every pitcher and situation is unique.

There is no hindsight here. Anyone with any sense was first guessing this horrible move and the Nats are getting exactly what they deserve.

There is definitely a wrong one and it's the one the Nats chose.

I would be livid if I were a player/fan/season ticket holder.
