It should not be understated how good this dude is. He could one day be the best pitcher baseball has EVER seen. At worst, he develops into Johan Santana. If you pass him up you're a fool.

Cost is not an issue. Besides, if it turns out you can't financially afford him, then trade him for an absurd number of prospects/players. The guy represents a chance to change the fortunes of the frachise.

schneed, come on. the guy has great POTENTIAL. that we agree on. but don't forget, he hasn't faced ONE major league hitter yet. but i do agree he already would be the Nat's best pitcher. what a sorry staff
