The Strasburg Watch: Day 12

Congrats Nats. Please catch the Royals in the standings. Please.

While I agree with the general point that if you draft premium talent, you have to pay for premium talent, that's not really the case if you take a guy pretty much where he should go in the draft.

yeah i hear ya. just seems to me nowadays that teams should pay more for the 20 something coming out of college top 10 draft picks who are going to be in the bigs in 2 years vs the 18 yr old high school player taken top 10 who is going to spend 4 years developing and growing in the farm club.

I was always afraid that Strasburg wouldn't even want to play for the Nats, so I'm glad they signed him. And the way that Storen is developing, they might not need to look for a closer. McDougal has been great so far. Bergmann lost the game last night.
