If he sits out a year, he doesn't miss a year at his initial contract, he misses a year at his maximum contract at the end of his career. Very short sighted... No, it wouldn’t benefit the kid.

In the long run, wouldnt it be better to sit out one year, rather than get stuck on the Nats for 5 or 6 years? If I were the kid, I wouldnt sign either.

If a MLB team doesn't sign one of their picks, they can't pick him in the next draft without the player's permission. “And if I’m Ted Lerner, I’m drafting Strasburg right away once again and forcing Boras to get a deal done before Strasburg spends his prime being priced out of the highest level of baseball competition by the very man who’s supposed to work for him…”

Per MLB rules, an usigned draftee has to consent to allow a team to re-draft him. I think he will sign, but if not, then the Nats lose the chance to get him.

Draft pick #'s 1-5 can get no more than $X. 5-10 get $Y. This negotiation type atmosphere for people are are completely unproven in the bigs is pointless and can even hurt teams like the Nat's in the long run.
