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%)

Right, so cAAArter.  Playing in AAA isn't bad at 23.  It's still quite young for the level.  I've been on record repeatedly here saying he needed time.  He still needs time. 

When people are gnashing their teeth about him, they need to realize that if he'd gone to college he'd have been a 2019 draftee and - even absent COVID - he probably wouldn't have played above AA right now.  There's nothing wrong with being cAAArter.  Just like Garcia should also be in the minors.
I can agree with you, but that puts 3rd Base into a new category -
