A bit OT : What does Strassberg speculation say about the vintage Mkt

[tbob]

The Nats rallied late today and saved him for going under .500 although he didn't get the win. When the fans get to vote for one player on each team to be added I bet you anything Strasburg will be elected if he is one of the 5 players to be voted on. A starting pitcher with 2 wins and in the All-Star game, what a travesty that would be.

All I know so far is there's about $20k+ of available prewar cards the Strassberg(Strassburg?) buyer left still for sale for us to add to our collections!

The All-Star game decides WS home field advantage and I think that regardless of his win totals with the Nats, he would give the NL team a great chance to win. At least 3 to 6 critical outs.

Maybe the Nats will not let him play even if he's elected. He's their investment and what do they care who gets home field.

Strasburg wasn't included in the list of 5 NLers for fans to vote for to pick one more player to go so we'll see how he does in his next 20-25 starts. That's the way it should be
