(And I think the Nats kid pitchers are nowhere near ready. Cavalli got blasted in AAA. He needs to repeat and master it. Henry should start the year at Harrisburg and, maybe by late July or August he'll be ready to try Rochester. The others are still just names in box scores, except for Adon.
Adon was amazing, but we've all seen rookie pitchers who had promising first starts and who evaporated. When I was about ten, I listened to the great Bob Wolf call the first start for the Nats by John Romanosky. He had a no-hitter going into the 8th, and then gave up a hit or two. Here is Romanosky's career: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/romonjo01.shtml
Agreed. Cavalli might be ready at some point next year, but at nothing more than a back-of-the-rotation guy. Right now we can only count on Corbin, Gray, Fedde, and Espino plus maybe Rogers. That's an awful rotation. Adon will likely start the year in AAA.
