Just wondering, it doesn't seem like there is anything more Detwiler can do to prove himself

Wang will be taking Strasborg's spot once he's done with his rehab.

Yes, Detwiler should stay in the rotation. Yet another good start his evening. Been a fan of his since last season.

Yes. The Nationals should look to trade Jackson.

Shows how meaningless wins for starting pitchers are.

Yep - with a 1.59 ERA and .99 WHIP in 5 starts, he should be 5-0.

Then again, it could be worse - see Dempster, Ryan and his 0-1 with a league leading 0.95 ERA

It's probably better in the short run to have Detwiler keep pitching but if there is nowhere to put CMW, then you have to give him Detwiler's spot.  Strasburg will be shut down in August and Detwiler can pick up his innings then.  In the meantime, this means no more Gorzelanny so the weakest guy in the bullpen gets pushed out to make room for Detwiler.

So you have someone to pitch Strasburg's innings when he gets shut down.

Jackson is on a one year deal- why not ship him to the bullpen? Why screw with Detwiler who likely will be here next year

You think Rizzo is going to send Jackson down or put him in the pen?
