They should shut him down until ST so that there is no longer any excuses about injuries exacerbated by coming back too quickly. If he has any type of setback in ST he needs to go the way of TRJPWH.
(random ?) How many picks away were we from getting Wieters last year?
We were also 1 pick away from getting SS Gordon Beckham this year. I'm pretty sure the Nats would have taken him too.
The reason I asked is because some "experts" think he could be the best catcher in the AL as soon as next season. That's insane. I like Flores and all, but Wieters has Longoria-like power. We need that.
That's crazy. That is a shame but I think Detwiler is going to breakout next year. I might go watch him pitch tonight at Potomac if I feel like it.
I just bought my ticket for the P-Nats first playoff game which he should be pitching in if the rotation holds up the next two weeks (and *knock knock* barring injury).
I'm definitely going to at least the first game.
Embarrassing. Let's just get down our knees for the Almighty Rich Harden. That's what the Nats are doing.
He will be good, no doubt. I don't know about next year, though. Without looking at every single game, I think that the Nationals farm teams have actually handled Wieters well this season.
The fact that some are saying he has a chance to be better than Mauer and Martinez by next season is crazy, though. The O's have a lot going for them at this point. The fact that their vets have done so well this season gives them ever more hope for the future. I hope we can get to that point soon.
I wonder if they will make any other moves to beef up the Potomac roster before the playoffs?
