Strasburg mania continues - MLB '70 Senators jerseys up

Geoff thanks for posting. There have been some rumors flying around that he is not signing for ANYONE, even kids. Glad to hear that is not true.

Stephen signed a lot in Spring Training. He definitely signed for the kids at Nats Park. I heard the autograph hounds have been staking out the team hotel for him.

I was at The Game And Telling my GirlFriend his Jersey will go for like around 5 Grand.She even said but He is not Playing.I told her it does not matter because his Stuff is very Hot right now And People will Pay for his Items.I was very Close to getting his Autograph but did not.He Signed for A Kid Next to me on Friday Night.

Thanks
Geoff

Ah it brings up the whole what is a game worn jersey debate. It may still have good use though. I reluctantly got a Trevor Hoffman that was worn on a throwback night that he did not pitch and it is covered with dirt. I guess he warmed up in it or something. Maybe for the price the Stratburg buyer will get the same.

I have photos of him in the jersey. Not a bit of dirt on it.

Not about game used but can you believe people think he deserves to be in the all-star game. I'm sorry but he's only played in acouple games.

I have to totally agree with you. Pitched in 5 games and been in the league like 35 days. Other people say they want to see him up against the best players in the league, and that he would help the NL win the game. Should he be taking up a roster spot of someone who worked really hard to make the team??? People have mixed feelings about this subject.

I Talk with some of those Autograph Guys at The Orioles Games And they all say He does not Sign for them or even look up when they Call his Name out.I Wonder if some of those Guys Work because they go to A Different Ball Park like EveryDay.They also do Minor League Parks as well.I collect Autographs also And will get him to Sign A Ball for me SomeDay as He will be around for A Long Time.

Thanks
Geoff

Allstar? No way. Tonight was his first bad start not coincidentally against the best team he has faced. By the allstar game he might not even be a .500 pitcher. Has any starting pitcher with say a 2-4 record ever made the AllStar Team? If they go down that road why not just add Michael Stanton, Ike Davis, Buster Posney and all the other rookies who appear to have bright futures but have short big league resumes. There are a slew of worthy NL pitchers: Jimenez should start, Halladay, Tim Linecum and Mike Pelfrey are locks to go. I don't think he will make it because the Nats representative will be either Pudge or Zimmerman since they are among the best at razor thin positions.

Agreed he has been in the league too short a time to put him the HOF. He's a young pitcher with great stuff and command who is still learning his trade. "Bad start" against the Braves is relative. He held them scoreless through 5 innings. In the 6th the shortstop booted what appeared to be a sure double play ball. If the rather routine play had been made he likely gets out of the inning with no runs. Any pitcher is going to have problems handling a situation that should be two outs and a runner on thrid that turns into no outs and the bases loaded. And in his previouls two starts the Nationals scoured 1 and 0 runs while he only gave up 1.

I was at the Braves game yesterday for Strasburg's start and I noticed every single foul ball was picked up by a batboy and thrown straight to an MLB Authenticator sitting right next to Bobby Cox near the dugout. Now you'll see them up in no time on MLB auctions. There were a few that were thrown by Strasburg to Chipper Jones so you'll see some of those for sure fetch high prices. It's crazy.

Why not? I mean J-Roll was leading all NL shortstops in voting after having only played in 12 games this year while he was on the DL.

It's a popularity contest plain and simple and right now, Strasburg is popular.
