Don't have a link to this yet since the box score hasn't been posted, but his line from today:
8IP, 5H, 2ER, 1BB, 18K, 1HR, 29BF
Totals for the year include:
78 batters faced, 45 strikeouts (58%), 4 walks (5%).
As part of THT, each March we do a staff roundtable of predictions on the standings. Part of that article is offering a prediction on who will win the MVP, Cy Young and Rookie for each league. I detest that part since I am loathe to attempt predicting what the generally moronic BBWAA will do. However, if asked this Spring, I am going to predict that Stephen Strasburg will be the Rookie of the Year.
I am only going to be half-kidding.

He gave it up to the worst hitter on the team.

If he wanted me to teabag him in return for choosing Seattle.
I would probably say “yea”.
I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!

Wait... Wouldn't that phrasing mean you're the one giving?
There are no good individual basketball statistics.

Oh yeah,
the game today was against University of San Diego, ranked 11th in the nation by BA, 16th by USA/ESPN.

WHY! Why do you keep showing me pretty things I can't have!
The Nationals are not going to be that stupid, cheap and poor.

Strasburg says he'll skip draft this year
if Washington, or Seattle, are the two possible teams.
He says okay to San Diego. Bud Black, all that.
There are no good individual basketball statistics.

Andrew Miller tried the same thing. He still signed.

We tried.
Oakland screwed us over by being worse somehow (Morrow gives up 5 runs…and wins? Huh?).
by ThundaPC on Mar 5, 2009 6:16 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
They did it on purpose!
OAKLAND tanked so that we wouldn’t get the first overall pick.
There’s the conspiracy!

I say we draft the guy who his the HR off of Strasburg with the 2nd pick.

You should use your headline creating powers for good and discourage the Nationals from drafting Strasburg.

He has such a great career ahead of him it's a pity that it had to end this way.
RIP Stephen Strasburg.
I wonder how much his semen will cost…
You got slurved bitch.

This Semin costs $4.2 million.
And he’ll play the bongos on your head for no additional cost.

Usually this only lands you on the DL with 'tendonitis'.
Almost as good as Big Richie vs. 1500 lb baby.

The best part of it -- that I missed the first time through -- is the follow-up to the punchline:
“Strasburg’s hot stuff creates some interesting dilemmas.”
That’s fucking AWESOME as a counterpoint to the headline. All the better because it’s a real headline.

The only real solution here is for us to hijack the Nationals scouting operation
With a GM opening this is the perfect opportunity for one of us to sneak in under a pseudonym and be named the new GM or scouting director, draft somebody else, and then quit

Draft yourself
I’m sure there’s a high school player named David Corcoran somewhere you could announce as the pick
by seattlebruin on Mar 5, 2009 7:51 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Do you have to be an active player? Aumont wasn't.
There’s a former high school player sitting in Wyoming I could announce as the pick

Well aren't you also three years removed from HS?
I don’t see why you couldn’t announce yourself.
You know, you shouldn’t quit – you should sign yourself first
by seattlebruin on Mar 5, 2009 7:53 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I probably wouldn't draft myself because that would increase the odds like 400000000000000x that I get caught
And if I signed myself I’d have to play, which would prompt a large investigation as to why I was drafted with the #1 overall pick. Fraud would be suspected.
I’d draft Grant Green

You could draft me.

I totally raked as the pitcher in t-ball, myself!

To add to the impressiveness:
Strasburg’s SWINGING strikeout rate alone is 47.4—Lincecum’s overall K was about 40% his junior year.
Other funnness:
XBH: 3.85
Opponent’s line: .178/.231/.260
BABIP: .429
Last 2 starts: 14.2 IP, 34 K, 2 BB

According to KZOK the easiest way for the Mariners to win this year is to not suck

You know, I don't care what uniform he wears.
I only hope his success continues in the big leagues. Because that kind of ownage would be glorious to witness every five days.

The M's have Felix, so I want the Nats to have Strasburg.
Although yeah, if for some reason the Nats go insane it’s a pretty sweet consolation prize for the M’s to have both Felix AND Strasburg.

With all due respect to the pitching
It was Mike Cameron + Bret Boone + Olerud + Ichiro! + everyone else on defense that caused that totally ridiculous year.
Plus, Edgar.
by cwel87 on Mar 7, 2009 8:24 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Hmm.
Aumont will probably not be ready next year. I’d guess 2012.
So — keep Bedard!
Felix, Bedard, Strasburg, Morrow, RRS.

Garcia, Blackley, Pineiro, Nageotte, Johnson 06!
by Robert on Mar 6, 2009 9:51 AM PST up reply actions 3 recs
I just have to point that, despite how much we all wanted to believe
and despite the fact that I did believe, scouts were not convinced by Blackley and Pineiro. At all. Nags, sure, but Johnson had some question marks back then, and Blackley and Pineiro just didn’t have a ton of stuff.
The 2010 thing would be different, and would thus probably blow up in our faces in a totally different way.
by marc w on Mar 6, 2009 1:09 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I remember being a big Pineiro believer because I loved his curveball.
That and in 2003 he led the league in ERA from the 3rd inning to the 7th (if I recall correctly). I thought that if he could just buckle down in the first two innings that he’d be an ace next year.
2004 was a drag.
