Washington Nationals should try and find at bats for Michael Taylor

The Nats recalled youngster Michael A. Taylor on Wednesday when they placed Reed Johnson on the disabled list. While he was clearly the best option to improve the current roster, could this move stagnate his development?

There doesn't appear to be much question as to whether Michael A. Taylor is one of the 25 best players in the Washington Nationals organization right now.  The 24-year-old outfielder has earned rave reviews as one of the best defensive outfielders in the minors.  Despite a few defensive hiccups during his first stint in D.C. this season, would be expected to be the second best defensive outfielder on the team right now.
