Him and Zimmermann will be a pretty lethal 1-2 potentially. The Nats have batters, they just don't have pitching.

There is no fricking way that the Nats will pass on him. You a closet Mariner's fan with wishful thinking.

Pencil Strasburg as the opening day starting in 2010 for the Nationals.

And they'll pay it. Ownership would get absolutely killed if they didn't sign him.

That won't happen twice. Strasburg is on a different level.

always take this with a grain of salt because of different guns...different guns can read 4mph differently

that said he may have actually thrown that hard but there's always a hype level with up and comers

have talked to a lot of people who have seen him/played with him and they've all said he's silly good.

One last thing to keep in mind is his learning how to be a good big league pitcher. He's already way, way ahead of the curve stuff wise, but it'll still take him a lot of work to perfect everything. Best example of this is Felix Hernandez, ungodly stuff and every year you can see him learn/apply more information.

It'll be fun to watch this with Strasburg.

I don't see PC's any where on SDSU website buy he's got to be getting high up there with those K's he's laying down. I really really don't like it when people say can't miss prospect or the best prospect ever. Exhibit A.
