I really think he's trying to blow up the current system and exploiting these kids in the process.

That's exactly what he is doing. I'm not sure if this is good or bad but so many baseball 1st rounders fail it's hard to think they are going to move the system much.One interesting thing is that if Strausberg doesn't sign, the Nats get the 1st two picks next year with the Padres likely picking third. The Nats would need a waiver to draft Strausberg signed by him which obviously he wouldn't do.

I really don't get Washington not signing. I doubt most here know who he is, but he's not exactly considered an uber, top-10 prospect (some projections had him in rd 2/3), apparently can't get into Florida (so he has to go JUCO) and is walking away from at least a mil up front and maybe more. And chances are so-so at best he'll ever be picked this high again.
Insane. Who can walk away from that kind of dough?

And given the fire sale in San Diego it's hard to imagine what they would offer.

Depends on if Strasburg is willing to actually sit out multiple years, because it's not like the Pirates or Padres are going to completely break the bank to sign him if he goes back into the draft next year.
Strasburg will sign because it's not going to be worth the risk turning down money that'll end up over $15 million.

I'm sure most of them will get done tonight. In fact, the rumors are both Donovan Tate and Jacob Turner have been done but they are over slot and MLB is holding out on announcing it so they don't influence other signings.
I'll be surprised if Strasburg doesn't get done tonight. It makes no sense for either side to not do a deal.

Guess -- Strasburg will get $21 million. ESPN indicated the offer to date was $12.5 million. Boras wants to double what Mark Prior got.

Watch my feet!
Strasburg WILL sign. Book it.
Boras is despicable for trying to screw these kids over for his ego.

I'm thinking it might have something to do with his bank account. just a guess though.He is also trying to raise the ante for future clients.

Boras played his usual game, but I guarantee the Strasburg family told him way back when they hired him, do and say whatever you want but on August 17, freakin' SIGN. Regular people like to get paid.
