Did Washington sign Sizemore for the remainder of this season or next season as well?

Aumont’s situation reminds me of a young randy Johnson. Aumont is a big boy that has control issues. Johnson was a big boy and was absolutely wild when he first came up. Both are hard throwers. Johnson didn’t develop passable control until he was 29-30. (Also- the strike zone was a bit larger in the early 90’s) Granted, Aumont’s is no Johnson, but the situations are comparable.
A smart team with a forward thinking pitching coach should consider signing him to a 3-4 year minor league deal, with incentives for mlb time, and look to develop him into something.
Aumont is a coachable pitcher with a mature head on his shoulders.
