Washington Nationals
14 June 2009
pave the way for two fresh examples, Mark Sanchez of the New York Jets and Steven Strasburg of the Washington Nationals (maybe). Sanchez just this past week signed a five year deal with the Jets that could net him as much as $60 million and includes $28 million in guaranteed money. Sanchez played one, ONE, full season of college football and hasn’t even completed preseason, much less thrown a meaningful pass in the NFL and he is already a multi-millionaire. Strasburg too has an interesting road ahead of him, selected first overall in the week’s MLB draft, Strasburg is rumored to be looking for a contract that would smash the previous record for a first selection in the MLB draft. Strasburg, and his agent, are reported to be seeking a contract worth around $50 million, destroying the $10.5 million signing of Mark Pryor. Strasburg brings incredible heat to the table, a 103 MPH fastball, and tons of accolades from his collegiate days such as his 23 strike out game just this past season. Strasburg however has achieved all of this against college batters, not professionals the likes of Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, and Albert Pujols.

What are some of the Braves other needs before the season opener against the Phillies on April 5? Adding an outfield bat seems to be Wren's top priority, but who could it be?
Hopefully not Andruw Jones, who just hit the free agent market yesterday. I just don't think he's worth taking a shot on. After all, the Dodgers did agree to pay him the rest of his contract as long as he stopped hurting their team by taking up a roster spot.

Well it seems as though the "Devil" in Devil Rays has officially been exorcised. The Rays win their first playoff game in franchise history on the shoulders of rookie Evan Longoria.
