Not sure where you gathered that their posts were calling him the savior of baseball, especially considering the Nats are in first place. What exactly is he going to save them from? And then your insight on him playing outfield doesn't make much sense to me either. He doesn't have a problem running, it's the cutbacks that he has a problem with. When exactly would he be making cuts in the outfield??
He doesn't have a problem running yet he's had three ankle injuries while running ... hmmmm ......
And, to be honest, first base and second base are really his only options at this point. Harper, Goodwin, and Werth will have the outfield on lockdown for a while.
