    It is worth every dime to develop these young kids instead of paying that much for overpriced Vets who may or may not pan out.... Baseball recruiting is not a science, but kids like this are worth the risk

    Remember Ben McDonald??? A highly touted rookie to have a mediocre career pitching.....I feel for Straussburg playing for the Nationals.

    Okay, but what about the fact that he hasn't played a single second and could blow out his arm at any moment?

    Scott Boras is the devil.

    Scott Boras IS the devil. They are at least cousins. Maybe brothers in law. Worst case scenario they are step brothers.

    The only thing about big contracts like this is that teams tend to rush these kids up the ranks. Look what Texas is doing right now. They've got one pitching already and one just moved up to double A ball. That kid's friggin 18.

    Nothing wrong with an 18 year old Kid pitching in AA... nothing at all.... Most Draft picks signed Months ago and have been pitching all Summer...
