I like the notion of knowing that it is better to keep a longview in mind when we think about formation. What seems right or feels right now may not be good for the long run. It seems like it is a balance of responsibility and privilege. Too much responsibility with no privilege builds resentment, but too much privilege without responsibility leads to arrogance.

It’s not easy trusting others in a situation like this, when your own formation is on the line, but it seems like they are trying to keep a tension here, for the sake of the long haul. No one likes to make this hard decision, but I agree with you Stephen, I think it is the best for both the Nationals and Strasburg for the long term relationship.
