In response to "It's entirely possible he's pitching at the end of next year." by the wrong element, bad guy

I wouldn't rush it though if I was the Nats. Does anyone expect them to be competing next year? No. So leave him on the bench until Opening Day 2012

If Harper is a phenom, maybe they both "debut" that day.

I think if he can pitch at the end of the year, they should pitch him. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 27, 08:14
eventually you kinda have to let him pitch though, you can't save him for the playoffs -- nm - Beaker Aug 27, 08:08 11
- Especially since it's the Nats. -- nm - Ender Aug 27, 08:09 4
  - I didn't actually mean "playoffs"; replace that with forever. He can't end up being 30 and have pitched only 100 innings a year - Beaker Aug 27, 08:22 3
    - No, they were treating him as a 22 year old pitcher with a prior career high of 120 innings or so - Will Hunting Aug 27, 08:27 1
      - I like the way the Rangers have been doing it *shrug* -- nm - Beaker Aug 27, 08:30
    - I see where Dibble was coming from earlier in the week, only without all the crazy -- nm - Beaker Aug 27, 08:23
- What playoffs...they'll likely still be 20 games out next season. - Will Hunting Aug 27, 08:09 5
  - It might not be rush back. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 27, 08:18
  - does his injury time count against his 3 year contract? -- nm - Beaker Aug 27, 08:11 3
    - You mean in regards to his arb clock? - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 27, 08:20 1
      - The 15 and 60 day DLs do count towards service time. -- nm - Ender Aug 27, 08:39
    - He'll still get paid and he'll still be under their control thru 2015 or 2016. - Will Hunting Aug 27, 08:16
