... if you HAD a John Olerud, or an Edgar, with wheels, what would you have expected them to look like?
I don't know many kids who can experiment while facing the best competition of their lives and knowing they're being judged on it.  
... in the AFL ... is that him putting together all that experimentation on the year?

Just so!
Tremendous insight to bury in a comment :- )

Thanks Strasburg, I guess, for making him only the second best player in the draft.

In public, there was a certain amount of arguing about the #2 overall.  At least in the sense of Baseball America representing the GM's as having a "short list" after Strasburg.
'cause of Ackley's size, I guess.  I wonder how many people understood him as well as Zduriencik did?  50% of the GM's?  70%?
As we'll recall, MC/SSI had Ack wayyyy out in front of the 3, and was it Taro? who argued him ahead of Strasburg?
