So the Nats signed pitching phenom Stephen Strasburg for a record-breaking $15 mil+ Keep in mind, no pitching prospect drafted this high has ever won 200 games. I don't understand how the draft results in teams having to pay top dollar to people who haven't demonstrated that they can even play at a professional level.
