Interesting marketability list...

[Bob Loblaw]

Stras more markable than Ryan Howard, David Wright, and Arod.

Not surprising considering he sells out every stadium, every time he pitches.

Would Stras be a better pitchman to Joe Consumer than Ryan Howard, who's played in the WS for the past two years, or Arod?

I would think Strasburg has gotten more non-sports news coverage than Howard, so non-baseball folk would be more likely to know who he is. And the steroid thing has probably hurt ARod's marketability, although he would probably have more national appeal than SS.

It's interesting.

My mother in law and wife both have no idea who Ryan Howard is but they have both mentioned Strasburg to me in the last month!

I asked my wife, and she's never heard of Strasburg or Howard.

She did know Jeter, Pujols, and Arod, but said she doesn't like Arod. She also knew Lincecum because he looks like my nephew.

Tell your nephew to cut his hair.

He already did. He is entering the Air Force in a few weeks.

Tell him thanks.
