Nationals' strategy is short-sighted; ace should be available for playoff chase
WTF? Anyway,
http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/7931609/washington-nationals-need-stephen-strasburg-septemberI think there's probably good arguments that can be made against shutting him down, but there aren't any here. I don't understand why people look at this as strictly injury prevention and not recovery from reconstructive surgery.
Also not sure how anybody who's watched baseball can bring up Maddux in a debate about the health of Strasburg's arm.
