WHY DID WE NOT DRAFT STRASBURG???!!!???
How the hell did Bavasi/Fountaine think that Fields could possibly have more potential over Strasburg. I only put up with the losing in hoping that we could come away a difference maker and instead we have Morrow over Lincecum 2.0.
In case any of you haven’t seen the videos, this is the man that WILL NOT be pitching for us in the future

I knew we were allergic to smart but holy Christ this is a whole new level.
Fuck this team. LETS GO RAYS (who ironically would not pass on Stephen Strasburg)

I am all behind and on top of drafting Strasburg now. He’s very efficient with his Ks

Who pissed on Selig's lawn, by the way?
What a sour asshole.

Given his apparent intoxication level
my bet is that he himself pissed on his lawn.

What is amazing is that his earlier strikeouts were not so much his doing, but the hitters swinging like that Mariners.
But as the game progressed, his control and movement got much better, and there was nothing the hitters could do at that point.

to be fair
that was the widest strike zone i’ve ever seen. It should have been more like…21 Ks. Way overrated.

*Drools at video*
Strasburg will make up for this season 10 fold.

Especially after we trade him and cash for Griffey.

Uhh, that's not irony.
I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

How much a signing bonus with Strasburg get?
15-20 Million?

Jesus
His command with his fastball is outstanding and he mixes in his breaking balls with the utmost confidence. He throws it all and knows you can’t do shit with it.

Why do you think I've been talking non-stop about him for the past 3 weeks?

Latent homosexuality?
I hear all kinds of hype about various prospects and talented kids, but until they get to the majors I rarely get to see it first hand before hand. Even then, there are times when I simply don’t see what the scouts and others see.
I had a scout for the Washington Nationals staying in my hotel the other day. I tried to chat him up on baseball, but the poor guy looked like he’d had a long day so I didn’t push the issue. He did insist that his TV’s have ESPN U for the college playoffs though. I really wish I coulda had a beer with that guy and ask him about scouting and the upcoming draft.

Wow what a top 3 rotation
we could have in their prime years. With felix, strasburg and morrow we could rule the baseball universe.

That's why the M's need to stop winning this year >:(
