How long in 2021 will Carter Kieboom last as the Nats third baseman?

Not to the end of Spring Training.  Replaced by trade, or someone beats him out.
5 (20.8%)
He'll be replaced by the end of May.  Quick hook after flailing.
10 (41.7%)
He'll be replaced by the end of July.  Either we upgrade to contend or want to try another guy we control next year.
0 (0%)
He'll make past 7/31, but we will try to another guy as a regular at 3rd by the end of the year.
0 (0%)
He will be a regular the entire year, either at 3rd or another infield position.
9 (37.5%)

He's only 23 and doesn't turn 24 until September. They called him up way too early in 2019. It's one thing to rush Bryce Harper and Juan Soto, but Kieboom just wasn't ready. I'd like to see them send him down and tell him there is zero chance he is back until late in the season. See if he the player development staff can fill some holes in his game.

He was 21 in 2019 with 500 AAA at-bats. I don't really think he was rushed, definitely not to the extent Soto and Bryce got bumped up. Luis Garcia got rushed last year.
