Rumors surrounded Stephen Strasburg's negativity to Max Scherzer signing with the Nationals. These rumors are unfounded and he is perfect content with the organization (Washington Times)
Fantasy Impact
This could be the year Strasburg turns into that top-five SP, even as the #2 pitcher in the Nationals rotation. He tied for the lead in the National League in strikeouts last year; he had 242 strikeouts and so too did Johnny Cueto of the Reds. His inconsistency so far in his career is the issue with Strasburg; he has all of the talents to be a top-five SPthe biggest problem. At this point he is taken as one of the top pitchers in fantasy baseball; if you're looking for one of the top elite strikeout pitchers, picking Strasburg a round or two after Clayton Kershaw could be a shrewd transaction.
