As predicted, the Washington Nationals have selected San Diego State phenom, Steven Strasburg, #1 in the draft. After listening to uber-agent, Scott Boras, I'm sure there are people in the Washington front office, grasping their chests and scrambling around for nitro tablets.
Says Scott, "Strasburg is a different breed of cat, worthy of contract far above other #1 picks." While he wouldn't name a number, it's believed he will be asking in the neighborhood of $50 million. Since he can't use the "mystery team" ploy, he may use Japan as a bargaining chip
The Nationals should pass. ...but they won't.
***DRAMA IN THE WINDY CITY***
A couple of weeks ago, Ozzie Guillen said that if Chicago brought phenom Gordon Beckham up from the minors, "...we'd be in trouble." Well, here he is and Ozzie says, "It's not my fault he's here." How's the kid doing? He started out 0-13 and got a standing ovation for a ground out. Ozzie's reaction: "Well, I hope he sells a lot of T-shirts, but I'd like a couple of hits."
