My favorite part is the way the media has approached the Nats "bringing him along slowly" just because he spent 2 months in the minors. That is a joke. He was the best pitcher on their staff since the first day of spring training. They kept him in the minors until after June 1 so that they would have an extra year before he can become a free agent. They weren't "bringing him along slowly." They were trading 2 months now for an extra year of lower pay 6-7 years from now!

That's exactly why they kept him down, as a money saving move.
There's another rookie who is going gangbusters but not getting as much publicity- Carlos Santana. I never saw a rookie batting third in a major league line up right out of the minors. And last time I looked he was hitting .393 with power. Last edited by barrysloate; 06-21-2010 at 11:21 AM.

If I were the guy who bought the Strasburg card for $16,000 dollars, I would buy a one way ticket to Washington D.C. and take the card to a car dealership and trade the card, straight up, for a $25,000 dollar car and then drive back home.
Why? Because I am pretty sure the car dealer could turn around and sell the card for a profit and the guy from Michigan will get more value and utility out of the car, over the next seven to 10 years, than he is going to get out of the Strasburg card. David

It is probably shill bidding.
plus, I guess Im just discouraged someone can actually afford that and such. Still, as others have said, whatever floats your boat and if you have the means, then by all rights, go for it. No point furthering my already high BP and nerve quotient by arguing over this stupid card.haha.

Am I seeing things? I just looked at the lsiting and it's going for $113,500.00 with 4 days left. Do people have so much money to throw away on 1 card?
I wish I was the person that was selling that card.

Here is a 1/2. Why is this worth only 2 percent of the 1/1????
