Kevin Goldstein, of Baseball Prospectus, on Ross Detwiler:
After pitching a scoreless inning in the big leagues last year, most thought that Washington would send the sixth overall pick in last year's draft to Double-A to begin the year. Instead, they went the less aggressive route and assigned him initially to their High-A Carolina League affiliate. After his season debut on Sunday, maybe Double-A wasn't such a bad idea after all, as Detwiler fired five shutout innings, struck out seven, and of the remaining eight outs, seven were on groundballs. The old cliché in the minors is that it's not where you start a year, it's where you finish, and don't be surprised if Detwiler's season ends with some more innings in the big leagues.
