If he's going to save the Nats, he's going to have to pitch 170-180 innings. He's never gone much more than 100. Why risk blowing his arm when we're not a contender this season? Also, he's not on the 40-man roster. Who do you want to put on waivers so he can pick up 100 innings in the majors?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
