Boswell is all wet on this ... it would be one thing if we were an established franchise with a history of winning -- we're not -- this organization cannot afford to NOT go after Strasburg at whatever price, the PR hit alone would be enormous -- if you're the Nats, you must go after one of the best pitching prospects to come along in 20 years -- it's a no brainer -- you go after the hitter you covet with 9a ... but you MUST go after the best player available with the number 1 pick, otherwise you're the pirates and the royals -- and this FO has made it very clear that they intend to be a championship caliber organization -- you can't do that without taking risks and spending money
