"The only reason Stephen Strasburg is pitching in the minors is an odd rule that could save the Nationals $18 million."

• MASNsports.com - Byron Kerr - "Chambers: 'I don't compare Bryce to anybody".

"'He is putting up numbers that certainly we didn't expect. I knew he would have success because he is a talented player. But I really didn't think he would put up the types of numbers he is putting up.

'He has set school records in a few areas. Our school record for home runs is 12 and that was set in 2001 when we used aluminum bats and he is at 12 homers right now.'"
