The Nationals face a question: Should Erick Fedde be their bullpen Band-Aid or should they continue his development as a starter? (John McDonnell/The Washington Post)The Washington Nationals are undecided on what to do with one of their top pitching prospects, Erick Fedde, General Manager Mike Rizzo said Tuesday. The Nationals could promote Fedde in hopes that the long-man might become a stabilizing force in a bullpen in need of one. But doing so stagnates his development as a starter, which Rizzo wants to avoid. As of Tuesday afternoon, Rizzo said the Nationals were “not sure which way we’re going to go” on whether Fedde would make the start.
