Am I the only one that hates when someone says that Boras will wait for another team to come up with the big bucks?They have no understanding of how the draft works.
If it were an option to make a selection before the draft starts, I think they would have with him. Everyone's just biding their time.
Can't we agree on a deal before the draft? Haven't they done that in the past? That way we don't have to go through weeks of hearing how we are not going to sign him?
Maybe we could deal the pick to the Dodgers in return for Juan Pierre?
Maybe we can trade to the Giants for Barry Zito?
I wonder if Kasten who could approach Boras since techincally he's not Strasburg's agent (thanks NCAA), and negotiate a deal should Strasburg become his client pending physical. You wouldn't be negotiating with an amateur since as a college athelete he doesn't have a agent. I doubt Boras would do it because the signing deadline is his leverage
I say 10 million guaranteed ML contract.
If my calculations are correct, Stephen Strasburg's BABIP is either .429 or .444, which is a good thing since that indicates that Strasburg has bad luck when the balls are in play (the rare times they are).
There is a dude wearing a Nationals T-shirt in the front row at HSCS today. Not strange, until you consider that the back of it says, across the shoulder blades, "Strasburg."
WOW, that is great news! He could be even better, then!
I'll go beyond that and say that I'll lose most of my interest in this team if they don't sign that top pick.
Bunch of us are turning into a bunch of paranoid mambie-pambies now aren't we?He'll be drafted and signed. Book it.
