[Willie Bee]

They've got to quit giving teams like the Nats an extra 1st-rounder just because they failed to sign their pick a year earlier. The collective bargaining agreement won't let teams drop players "for financial reasons," something we've been hearing about recently in the Tom Glavine situation. Yet what else besides "financial reasons" could be the reason Washington didn't sign their top pick a year ago?

[BobHarvey]

Exactly. And what reason is there to believe that the Nationals will be able to sign Strasberg? Boras has already said he's looking for a $50 million dollar deal. That's a lot of money to pay a kid who has never thrown a pitch in the bigs.

The Nats have been pretty public in saying they'll do everything in their power to sign SS.

If I had to guess I'd say he signs.

The Nats have been pretty public in saying they'll do everything in their power to sign SS.

If I had to guess I'd say he signs.

If the Nats are going to have any credibility in the baseball world, they need to sign him.

EM, It's a shame the Friars couldn't have gotten him.

If the Nats are going to have any credibility in the baseball world, they need to sign him.

EM, It's a shame the Friars couldn't have gotten him.

I thought the same...for about a millisecond, and then I realised The Friars are a club that refuse to spend money and ship players out the minute they realise they're any good, and I'm not talking about top flight players either, go take a look at Russell Branyans batting average and slugging percentage this year for Seattle.

The Friars don't deserve players like Strasburg whilst John Moores is still there bleeding the club dry, the sooner Jeff Moorad gets 51% the better.

Milton Bradley is another good example of a player that was dumped when it was obvious he made The Padres a better team.

Love the Braves draft so far. Solid pitcher their first round pick potential 300 winner.

Don't forget Bob, you gotta brainwash them when they're young...

Very nice!

I wanted Zack Wheeler to fall to the Braves. Oh well...

Minor should be MajorLeague ready soon and VERY solid for many years to come.

I probably would have taken Aaron Crow myself

Perfect example why the Pittsburgh Pirates are by far the worst run organization in sports today:

They have a future All-Star catcher in Ryan Doumit. They also have two quality back-up catchers in Jaramillo and Diaz.

What do they do with their #4 overall pick? They draft a fukkin' catcher!

Unreal is putting it mildly.

Pirates fan?

I like the Marlins this year. I have several futures wagers on Florida.

Over 76.5 wins, winning the NL and winning the World Series.

[TheIntegrityKid]

Nice, I picked the Marlins early on at +2500.

When they were fading some, I saw them at +6000 and decided not to take another future on them. I probably should've. Oh well

Marlins vs Red Sox... The Hanley-Beckett series...

[Shortstop]

Bob Harvey thanks for tracking this. You're a good man!

I still can't believe Pittsburgh drafted a catcher.
