I wanted to wait a for a couple of starts before I jumped on the Stephen Strasburg bandwagon. Now I'm driving it. Let's take a look at his numbers after three starts: 2 wins, 0 losses, 1.86 era, and 32 strikeouts. It's too bad he can't pitch every day. Its also too bad that he can't hit either. There were a lot of naysayers before this kid got drafted. No one thought risking a #1 pick on a pitcher was worth it, especially since he's not an everyday player. But the $15.1 million the Nationals signed this kid for was worth every penny. There's a lot to be said about knowing that you are going to win every 5th game. All the Nats need to do now is shore up their offense. There in a tough division with the Phillies, Brave and Mets but having a young cornerstone like Strasburg is something any team would love to build around. Being 6'4, 220 lbs ain't hurting him either.
