Strasburg
I think Washington is over-using him and he needs a rest.

After one start? He didn't look great against that power-packed Mets team, despite all his strikeouts.

I saw him pitch last Tuesday in spring training, his last start of the spring against the Mets. I was surprised when he came out and pitched the 6th inning. They did pull him after two batters, I'm assuming he was on a pitch count. Still I was surprised he pitched that long.

I posted the above during the early shelling. The game ended up being a very good one, other than having to listen to Mets announcers. Overall, a fun opening day - the Mariners looked fantastic other than some botched 3b coaching. It was weird seeing Logan Morrison slide gently into home, out by a mile, no bowling over of the catcher.

I was surprised to see him throw 100+ pitches in the opener. The team must feel good about him.

Regarding posts, I might be the only person in the forum who pretty much only posts here (and a few scattered posts in GUU), and barely does anything in Facebook or other forums, and don't even know how to use twitter. Plus I'm unemployed, and buy/sell this stuff for a living, kids are grown and gf is in the office all day. I should actually be #1 by now. Quote:

Hope he has a great year. I bought him last night in our fantasy league. He went slightly cheaper than Wainwright and Wacha (the two most expensive pitchers). And if you haven't guessed, our league is based in St. Louis.

5 or so years ago he was the can't miss second coming of Walter Johnson and his manufactured-scarce rookie cards were going for obscene money. Now he is 29-20 coming off an 8-9 year with a major surgery on his resume.

I thought he was supposed to be the second coming of David Clyde?

Yes, there was talk about him presenting Bryce Harper at their co-HOF induction.

How many #1 picks make the all star game?

It depends on how popular they are. That's what the all-star vote is - a popularity contest. If Mickey Mantle could be placed on today's ballot, he'd get in as a skeleton.

Strasburg is a monster, but I think the problem is that he had way too much hype around him to actually reach that projected goal. There should never be too many expectations for anyone in their first year or two...just way too much to learn and adapt to. I think he could really quiet his skeptics this year and I hope he does!

I still have no idea what you guys mean by under producing. All Star and Silver Slugger first full season. 3.00 ERA while striking out almost 9.5 batters per 9 innings his second full season.
Please tell me what more you expect from a guy. Please tell me how these are disappointing seasons. Last edited by packs; 05-06-2014 at 01:11 PM. |

Let me clarify my point. Most #1s make the majors but are not stars. Strasburg has not only made the majors but he has also has success in a relatively short period of time. On a side note - I am bummed about having to watch Jeter in the ASG. I think it would make me uncomfortable to be there when I know I didn't earn the spot.
