"There really isn't much to add to the Stephen Strasburg hype orchestra. He's obviously too good to be pitching in Triple A."
• MASNsports.com - "Desmond takes questions at ESPN Zone" - Kristen Hudak
"Every year when Ian Desmond blew out the candles on his birthday cake, he closed his eyes and wished one day he would make it to the big leagues. Drafted out of high school by the Expos in 2004, it took six years in the minors for Desmond to make his dream come true."
