Slow Down

The Nationals are certainly a franchise in need of some buzz, but I hope they have the restraint necessary to not rush Strasburg back or to rush Bryce Harper to the bigs.  At 18 and after pummeling 1A pitching, Harper is off to a slow start in 2A.  He needs to remain in 2A for the rest of this year at least and be allowed to get comfortable.  No way I would bring him up this year.  Strasburg is throwing and could make a rehab start within a week or 2.  I hope they don't rush either of them, because they offer the Nationals a real chance at being a relevant franchise with a little patience.
