Are you saying only people from CM hyped Strasberg and anyOne who hyped him doesn't know baseball? Cause that's 90% baseball fans/experts

Saw a piece on him during the game on a local station, guy looks like he can hit. Washington is on par to be the next come-out team -- if they can stay healthy.

I am saying that after 6 innings of work in MLB and making him a HOFer, is stupid.

I did not say hyping him was dumb, but HOF, yep, dumb and dumber

Hit a Home run this year in the minors earlier this year and when he rounded 3rd halfway to homeplate he blew the pitcher a kiss. Pulled some bullshit like that in juco also. He is a stud just a little imature. Threw about 94 as a pitcher also. He has hit some long,long home runs in high school and junior college with wood bats also. He graduated high school early so he could go to juco and get drafted sooner, so he is young but he is a stud!!!

Nature of sports talk - That's what people do

Kerry Wood
Mark Prior
Strasburg

just some of young studs who were destined for HOF before they pitched a full season.

Stras still might - obviously a long way to go but pitchers like that don't come around every day. Injuries the biggest obstacle

Strassburg has a HOF arm

Whether or not he has a HOF career though is another story.....TJ surgery these days isn't that big a deal as most come back better.
