Stephen Strasburg signing

[rj_lucas]

Congrats to the Nats for getting SS on board. GM Rizzo was quoted as saying "He is the most coveted amateur player in the history of the Draft..."

I assume he said that AFTER the deal was signed, since it certainly wouldn't help your bargaining power to say it before.

Strasburg's $15+ mil deal tops the previous record of $10 mil paid by the Cubs to Mark Prior.

I'm betting the Nats fans are hoping Strasburg's career longevity is a tad better than Prior's.

If Zimmermann comes back strong, could be quite a 1-2 punch.

Steve - Could you see my smile all the way from Washington DC?

I couldn't fall asleep I was so stoked (plus the sugar high I had from the 11PM ice cream cone) and this is just great news for this franchise!

So, who wants to come to Nationals Park next year!!!!!!
