It will be interesting to see when he signs. I think it's annoying when they wait until the last minute, but I understand it to a certain degree.

Obviously the dollar figure will be interesting as well, but with Boras, you never know where the real money discussions begin and where he leads us to believe.

I would love for Washington to play a hand that states the sooner he signs, the larger the bonus, just to get him in the system. Of course, if they hold out and wait until 2010, that will be a huge stain on the public eye with the amount of press that Strasburg has gotten, and the hope that the Nationals fans have at this point.

Nice article. My favorite quote:

"When there's this much hype, you can always find some team that's a little lighter on a player," an American League scout said. "Even when people talked about Matt Wieters and how otherworldly he was, we got reports like, 'He's very good, but it's not like he's a Hall of Famer or a once-in-a-lifetime guy.' But on [Strasburg], I have not heard that at all."
