Strasburg Mania reaches towards insanity

i think they are jumping the gun on him. alot of pitchers who look like future stars do not last ala kerry wood, mark prior, etc. It is like they did with Lebron before he went pro, hype, hype, hype. The difference is baseball players especially pitchers are much harder to project then basketball players. This kid could blow out his arm or simply not be able to handle big league hitters.

I saw Stasburg pitch at Reading back in April when he was with Harrisburg and I was amazed with this guy that night. I saw Aroldis Chapman pitch at Scranton at the end of April and also on May 19th at Lehigh Valley and was not as impressed with him.

On a side note, several years ago I saw Phil Hughes when he was pitching in the minors and was impressed with him. He got injured and has not been great with the Yankees so anything can happen.
