Stephen Strasburg signing
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.
