Considering that he already got hurt once when they took the halters off, that'll be awhile. -

Agreed, he is a monster, but it is time to let this monster off of his leash and let him see how much havoc he can create upon the majors. Lift the pitch limits this season, and let him go. Once healthy in midsummer, he shouldn't be treated like a 16th Century crystal glass collectible any longer.Catfish Hunter, RIP. Mark Fidrych, RIP. Skip Caray, RIP. Tony Gwynn, #19, RIP

This is a coincidence, and the quote was first added to this signature too far back to remember when).

I don't know how much 16th century glass collectables sell for, but you could probably buy a lot of them for the money the Nats have invested in Strasburg. They're going to err on the side of caution, and who could blame them?Originally posted by abolishthedh View PostThey call me Mr. Baseball.

What happened to Matt Wieters? I remember everybody on this message board gushing over him in like 2008 and now I haven't heard his name in years.Comment

Wieters is doing just fine. He was an all-star and won a gold glove last season. So far this year, he's been a monster too, hitting .290-ish with like 6 homers. This could be his big breakout year.Originally posted by KevinWI View PostReligion: Yankeeist

If anyone would get to 300 strikeouts I would pick him. If he ever throws 250 innings."No matter how great you were once upon a time — the years go by, and men forget,” - W. A.
