The greatest prospect ever?

Just got back from San Diego, where I saw Stephen Strasburg pitch. Thought some of you might be interested in reading about the guy who has been called the best prospect ever.
I’m not a scout, but he looked pretty damn filthy to me. He throws 100 mph (legit) and he has a big, hard breaking ball.
One GM told me that he’d be his team’s No. 2 starter right now (and his No. 1 is an All-Star). He also said he’d pay five years, $50 million if that’s what it took to get him.
Though it is not to the same extent, I haven’t heard this much hype about a player before he goes professional since LeBron.
I am always skeptical of a guy that throws that hard keeping his arm together.
