Stephen Strasburg

I'm sure that most of you here know about this kid from San Diego State, but if you do not he is a RHP that throws 100MPH consistantly. He is a power pitcher with great curveball as well as an overpowering fastball. Is there anyway that he falls to the O's at the number 5 pick this coming draft, or is he a lock to be the number one pick by Washington?

[McLovin]

No, there is no way he falls.

No chance, IMO. The Nats will select him #1 or face the ire of their fans.

[Hank Scorpio]

I'd be shocked if the Nats don't take him.

To be honest, I feel like he's a candidate for complete meltdown. Usually when a pitcher is this much of a can't miss guy, he's gonna crash & burn.

Check here, here, and here.

I don't think there's a chance he falls to us. However, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Grant Green (USC - SS) falls to us. He's going to be a special player.

Lol sorry I am not a regualr on the board. I knew this would probably be a worn out topic after the SI article on him.

No worries - but there's a whole part of the board devoted to the draft - good stuff on Strasburg there.

[Moose Milligan]

No way in hell....it'd be awesome though.

[Leitch]

If he falls to us, it'll be because his contract demands are Zitoesque. As much as we all like to invest in the draft, that is still a pretty tough decision.

Fortunately, there are a bunch of studs available at the beginning of this year's draft.

Provided we wind up with one of Strasburg, Green, Crow, White, Matzek or Gibson (and we will), I'll be a happy camper.

Nah, he has been the no. 1 consensus since before LAST draft. Didn't matter who had no. 1, they were taking him. He's the most touted prospect since Price, McDonald, or Gooden.

Is it really a need to be ignorant about it? I don't follow college baseball so I didn't know. I really don't appreciate the sarcasm; it was completely uncalled for.
