Scott Boras keeps hinting that if the Nationals don't pay #1 overall draft pick Stephen Strasburg $50M, then he'll go to Japan and play there professionally, which would open the door for him to come back to the states as a free agent and basically be available to the highest bidder.

Keep in mind that other #1 draft picks have never gotten contracts over $10.5M. This is beyond ridiculous, especially with a team like the Nationals, who aren't known for their big spending.

0	I would feel bad if Nationals fans lost a talent like this, but as a baseball fan, I say call Boras' bluff. Go ahead... convince your client to play in Japan. Good luck with that.

1	Pat, I hate to call you out on this, but you misspelled Scott Boras' name. There are two S's in his name. Scott BorASS.

0	If Strasburg is indeed a #2 starter right now, he should get as much money as possible. Why should Boras feel sorry for DC that they don't know how to build a team? HE'll probably make up any guaranteed money in merchandise sales within the first year alone.
