A quick look around the Nats' minor league system from Nats Farm Authority's Brian Oliver.
"Eventually, there'll probably be hundreds of approaches to analyzing Stephen Strasburg's career. But after his first 16 starts as a National -- three in spring training, 11 in the minors and two in the majors -- one largely unexpected, and not entirely welcome trend seems likely: Strasburg will be a strikeout king."
• NATIONALS NEWS NETWORK: Dave Nichols - "Strasburg: Ground Outs Are Good, Strikeouts Are Better"
"Will Strasburg continue striking out batters at a rate of 16.1 per nine innings? No, he won't. That's outlandish. But he appears to have several different, legitimate strikeout pitches, which is incredible in its own right."
