76 pitches, 43 strikes, two starts and 5.0 innings into his first Spring Training with the Washington Nationals after having been selected with the no.1 overall pick in the '09 Draft out of San Diego State University, Stephen Strasburg is being given one more chance tonight to convince the Nats' Brass that they can't afford to wait until the beginning of June to insert the right-handed flame-throwing future ace into the Nationals' rotation. Strasburg's allowed 4 hits and 1 walk while recording 4 K's thus far, and tonight the 21-year-old's scheduled for a four-inning outing against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals, who bring a decidedly B-lineup to Viera, Florida's Space Coast Stadium, where the Nats and Cards game will get underway at 7:05 pm EST...(What's up, Pujols?) The Nationals' Lineup?
