It sent shockwaves to most Washington Nationals fans when it was announced that the top pitching prospect, Erick Fedde, was going to be turned into a reliever for this season only in the minor leagues. However, has that thought process changed within the organization?
On Sunday afternoon, Jorge Castillo of the Washington Post tweeted that Fedde was going to make the start against the Buffalo Bison (Toronto Blue Jays) and he could still be both a starter/reliever this year:
Erick Fedde is scheduled to start tmrw for Syracuse. Plan is to stretch him back out to have as a starter or bullpen option later in season.
