Strasburg put his body through hell, and got compensated for it. I was reading how he has trouble opening doors with his right arm, and holding his children. Hopefully it will clear up, as he rests, and enjoys his long retirement.

I could be wrong, but I read he was the antithesis of Prior. Prior was actually a guy who scouts thought had perfect mechanics coming into the draft.
He was given as an example of a pitcher who did everything right, but still got bit by the injury bug. His mechanics might have suffered later on when he was overcompensating for his earlier injuries.
