Looks like Ryan Rowland-Smith updated his blog again. I really do wish more players would keep blogs, but I’m sure it’s not easy to find the time.

While I was on my way home from work today, I was listening to 710, and there was a post-game show with Kevin Calabro (I probably misspelled that), and I guess that ex-Nationals GM Jim Bowden was one some Los Angeles radio show today, saying that the Nationals absolutely, positively will sign Stephen Strasburg.  Not that this comes as a shock, because they’d be stupid not to, but here’s the kicker; word on the street is, of course, that Boras will be asking 50 million smackers for the kid, but Bowden says he’ll get offered 15 million, and he will be throwing for the Nats by September…I don’t know how much stock I’d put in a believing a guy who got caught skimming off his prospects’ pay, but whatever. Should be interesting to see if it happens….

Of course, I type all out, and then find out that Stone is all over it, of course.
