I agree, and but I also agree with Tryfuhl that he has plenty of time to turn it around. In his short life, he's always been the best player on his teams by a mile. I think he'll be in the Nats lineup by the time he's 19, a la A-Rod, Andruw Jones, and almost Jason Heyward (he's 20). He's got it all, but his current attitude won't fly in a big league club house I think.
The Nats have to draft him. You can't pass on that kind of talent. He's a once in a generation kind of guy. How often does any team have the opportunity to snag two prospects of this caliber just one year apart? It's amazing. The Nats have could really go places with Strasburg, Harper, and Zimmerman as the cornerstones for the next decade.
On a side note, my Oriole fandom is waning....
