Bowden may be an idiot, but I don't think anyone is gonna be too shocked that the Nats would pick Strasburg 1st. He's the <i>only</i> choice. He'd be the top pick in any year since '93 (when A-Rod was a mind-blowing HS kid), but this year especially, there is a big drop-off to the #2 pick. In fact, nobody is really sure who the 2nd best player in this year's draft even <i>is</i>, but everyone agrees that that player isn't in the same universe as Strasburg.
Again, it's a freaking perfect storm for the loathsome Boras; Strasburg is the perfect prospect, the Nats suck ass <i>completely</i> and despereately need talent, and they're perceived as being cheap, since they failed to sign their #1 pick <i>last</i> year. (Crow)
It'll be ugly, for sure. I'd say he gets $20 Mil, minimum.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
