(Jim Riggleman, via Nationals.com, 2/23/2010)"It's like Nolan."
(Pudge Rodriguez, via Washington Post, 2/24/2010)"This guy doesn't need any minor-league time. He will be one of the top 10 pitchers in the league if you start him on Opening Day."

Priase Jesus!
Boz's take on Jesus Strasburg is a must-read this morning.
