It would be insane to think he'll be the next Juan Soto, although I was pumping up promoting Soto early last year before it happened and started the same kind of thread in early April. I don't have near the same confidence in Kieboom being ready, but I think he is ready enough to certainly be better than Difo. The dynamic with Turner on the IL and Dozier struggling at 2B to start the season works out well. Over the next month or however long Turner is out, the Nats can evaluate how Kieboom is doing and if Dozier is showing signs of coming alive. Dozier has had slow starts in the past only to catch fire in the 2nd half. The hope is one of Kieboom or Dozier prove to be solid and you play them at 2B with Turner back at SS and Howie able to be a spot starter and top bench bat. In the perfect scenario, Kieboom looks great, Dozier heats up, and then you have an extra guy when Turner returns. I doubt we'd trade Kieboom, but maybe a streaking Dozier could be of interest to a contender with an extra bullpen arm to give us back. And if the guy coming back is cheaper, we'd have some wiggle room to add at the deadline.
