Wait till he faces batters like Albert Pujols or Derek Jeter lol.
When will he face Jeter? In the World Series?
The Nationals put him in the minors for one simple reason: Super Two.

The kid has great stuff but people need to stop calling him a phenom and let him get his work in. Im glad the Nationals put him in the minors for a while to let him pitch. He would have gotten hammered if they pitched him in the big leagues right away.

Relax…he’s just stating his career. Looks like he’s going to be very good, but the same has been said about tons of super prospects. In the bigs it’s a different story, but it’ll be fun to watch it play out. No doubt he has our attention.

OK! The young man can throw a baseball crazier than just about anyone in the world, but let him blow up a couple times in the Minors… still gettin’ paid. It’s not that his arm can’t handle it maybe it’s just a workout between the ears is what is getting.

I think someone accidentally put their red underwear into the hamper with the uniform tops.

Children?, not many children throw upper 90s and make men look helpless with a bat. I don’t understand why you want him to get shelled? Most people root for the guy not against. And in all liklihood, he won’t get shelled, but its all right you can keep dreaming.

Let’s get him up here and see what he’s got. He needs a harsh dose of reality – and by that I don’t mean marriage. He’s so soft and pink and cute, I hope he gets shelled his first time out. Children are horrible.
