is strasburg going to get drafted this year?

[HoustonTeams4Me]

[quote="jbone17":1bx00jqw]Nope. Why would the Nats pay his outrageous asking price?

You don't even know what his asking price is. All you know is rumor and speculation. Boras doesn't disclose such things beforehand.

Lets see. A kid that averages darn near 14-17K's a game won't have a high asking price? What did Boras get for Pedro Alvarez 6 mil? Strasburg will easily be asking for over that and it is a given Jaypers lol. It is quite obvious that Boras will try to get the most money for him. Of course I do not know what his price will be, but you know it as well as I do that it will not be cheap for him to get signed.

I'm looking at my above post, and I can't find the part where I said he wouldn't command a big price. Can you?

You didn't say that on that aspect though. We both know that he will have a high asking price, but Boras doesn't disclose things which you said. I never said that about you. I was asking you if you agreed with me lol.

He will break Prior's signing bonus record, but won't get an "outrageous" amount. He has less leverage than people think.[/quote:1bx00jqw]

Prior's signing bonus in & of itself is an "outrageous" amount, so if Strasburg gets more then I'd say that would qualify for an "outrageous" amount.

Strasburg will not get an outrageous amount. Imagine how much he would get on the free agent market. A heck of a lot more. Think Daisuke money.

How many pitchers have we seen get chosen #1 and not even get to play in an official MLB game.. Not spring training, not MILB, but an official MLB game..

If the Nat's don't take him, the Mariners have the next pick.. and they have saved a bunch this season on payroll by not paying the big bucks.. except to only a few..

Should be an interesting draft.. Looking forward to watching it on prime time this year..

 

[plainwhitejerseys]

In this economy, nobody is going to pay him what he wants. He'll go undrafted.

He'll be out of work like everyone else. The Yankees will be too big to fail and will get a bailout. Chien-Ming ****'s tax money is going to go to the Chinese gubmint, who are going to bail out the Yankees. Then he's going to fire Joe Girardi and force the Yankees to trade for his countrymen Chin-Soo Choo and Kenji Johjima. Then the Yankees will be unstoppable and even the President of China, Kim-Jong Il will be a Yankees fan.

This is one of the most ignorant posts I've ever seen.

Chien Ming **** is Taiwanese not Chinese.
Shin-Soo Choo is Korean.
Kenji Johjima is Japanese.
Kim-Jong Il is North Korea's leader.

I sure hope you were making some pathetic attempt at satire.

Number I heard cited was $50 mill. That's a high price to pay.

You are SOOOO lucky this isn't Jim Rome's radio show.

EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nah...Jim Rome is lucky he has his own show.That guy is a retard.

Wes, I am certain cheesburger was joking.

 

[craiger122003]

He will get 25 mil guaranteed if not more and yes he does have leverage
the fact that every nationals fan already is deciding what his jersey number etc will be they will alienate them quicker than shat and to top it off he will demand at the very least a september callup if not straight to the pros

My wife is half-Japanese and hates the whole "all rook same" attitude the average stupid white person has toward Asians. I wrote that to get a laugh out of her, and she laughed out loud when she read it. She said she was looking forward to reading the thread today to see if anyone replied thinking I was serious. I think your reply is going to make her day.

Edit - Reminds me of the old BMB days when Matsuzaka had just signed the Red Sox offer sheet, and kids used to absolutely BUTCHER his name. I'd ask who Dakuske Matzukosca (as they spelled it) was, and for some reason *I* was the idiot for not having heard of the Red Sox phenom.

There is not a team on earth that stupid.Not even the Yankees.At least I hope.

But anyhow...who in their right mind pays for a kid who has proven nothing in the majors yet?Besides...you never know.... if he starts getting knocked around a bit...he may revert back to his old attitude and that may not be so good.I have a hard time seeing somebody dealing that kinda cash to him.Velocity or not.

You might remind your wife that not all of us white guys are stupid.Hey...discrimination is a two way door my friend.

This is true, but way more heavily on the Asian/minority side. :shock:

Do you find that many people know who Lance Mountain is? My first deck was like this one, only with a white background:

No but if I had made a post where my wife said she was tired of the average stupid asian person not knowing how to drive(or some other completely stupid and unfounded generalization) then you would have thought that was a wee bit racial of me eh?As it stands I don't have a problem with any race or culture.Just individual people.

Point being...just leave it the hell alone.I am sure there are other message boards for that stuff.At least take it to the General discussion.

Not so much reeled in.Go around out in the real world and see what comments like that get you.Do people normally drop some comment like that on a bunch of people they don't know?Not normally unless they look like Brock Lesnar.


I just found it funny that if the roles were reversed and the race changed people would be on you like a pack of wild and very hungry wolves.I wasn't amused in the slightest.

 

[notjomommasclint]

not only will the nationals draft AND sign him his contract will guarantee a 25 man spot! he will put assess in the seats... as sad as that sounds people would have a good reason to watch a nationals game!
