we can round and round on this topic till the cows come home.  Davey and Rizzo both agreed that Strasburg was tiring out at the end of the year.  And if we had played the Kris Medlen game of delaying his start, there's absolutely no guarantee we would have won the division or made the playoffs (and everyone would be complaining that we should have started him on opening day).

No matter what we do the decision isn't going to change.  I trust Davey and Rizzo because they have been right far more then they have been wrong.
