Frankly, I wouldn't bring Strasburg up at all this year, ticket sales be damned. The Nats still have no shot even if he's Roger Clemens-esque. Agree wholeheartedly.

Obviously it's all about Strasburg for the Nats right now. That's why I would be a bit frightened about Riggleman as the manager. You mentioned that he threw out a 158 inning limit for Strasburg, which seems like an arbitrary number to me. Riggleman also managed Kerry Wood during his rookie season, but I guess Riggs didn't have that 158 inning limit back then. There should be absolutely no excuse for allowing Strasburg to work even moderately high pitch counts at this point. Good stuff. Obviously it’s all about Strasburg for the Nats right now.
