At first, I didn't want to see Stephen Strasburg get back on the hill, because I wanted to see more of Joe Ross establish himself as Joe Boss.  But now that Doug Fister is taking the hit, I was pumped for an all out Strasburg rebirth and boy was it fantastic: 7.0 IP, 1 ER, 3 Hits, 0 BBs, 12 Ks.  You know what I would do?  Sell high.  Most were avoiding him like the plague, but this start should raise a lot of eyebrows.  There could be guys who think that this is the new Strasburg of old, and will pay quite a pretty penny for the guy.  But you're not one of those guys since you've seen this from Stras many a time.  He shows super promise one start, then his Fastball gets hammered and Changeup is flat in the next.  For those who can't find a good deal, keep rolling with him, but don't be shocked if there a bunch of bumps on the road.
