Therefore, Smoker & McGeary will be back at Vermont next year probably with Arnold, Dean, Matias, McCoy & Atilano. Zimmermann, Alaniz, Willems, Gibson & Pena will move up to Hagerstown. Detwiler is the "wonder boy" who probably will start at Potomac and could move quickly like John Lannan did this year.</p> I believe the Nationals development plan for high school pitchers is for them to throw only fastballs, refine their command of the fastball, control their innings pitched and to be successful at a particular level before they are promoted.

There is too much invested in him to more him and have him fail. Relatively the Nats had nothing to loose by moving Lannan quickly.</p> Detwiler will only follow Lannan’s path if he performs like Lannan did this year.
