The whole Strasburg situation vexes me. To me, you really can't fault the Nats. They took every precaution, followed very "rule" for young pitchers, and they still got burned. It alternately makes me feel we know both more and less about young pitchers than we ever did. TI still think that having a pitcher like this is driving; you can be the best driver in the world, follow all the rules and laws of the road, and still get into a car accident.

This article; its just an interesting take. Tough love for Strasburg, and I suppose for young phenoms everywhere. An interesting perspective, and I don't know how many people reference this site, but I enjoy it because I think he looks harder for flaws in the ginormous prospects like Harper and Strasburg. Sink your teeth in, folks.
