Strasburg impresses in AFL outing
By Tom Singer / MLB.com
PHOENIX -- It might have been daybreak for the dawning of the Stephen Strasburg Era. The setting was still the relatively laid-back Arizona Fall League, but Strasburg on Tuesday showed off the right arm that made him the top pick in June's First-Year Player Draft.

Zimmerman honored as Web Gem champ

It would be easy to overlook the work of Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman at the hot corner. But game in and game out, Zimmerman has consistently put on a show for Washington, making highlight-reel plays commonplace in the nation's capital.

Strasburg takes loss in second AFL start
By Barry M. Bloom / MLB.com
PEORIA, Ariz. -- It was a learning experience for the Nationals' Stephen Strasburg on Thursday at Peoria Stadium. In his second Arizona Fall League start for the Phoenix Desert Dogs, the No. 1 pick in the nation plummeted to earth.
Strasburg allowed eight earned runs and seven hits, including three homers (one a grand slam), in a 9-6 loss to the Peoria Javelinas. It was his first look at that kind of disaster. Take note that he gave up only 16 earned runs in 15 college starts this season for San Diego State, for which he was 13-1 with a 1.32 ERA during his junior year.
In his two AFL starts, he's 1-1 with a 10.50 ERA. Welcome to professional baseball.

Q&A with principal owner Lerner
By Bill Ladson / MLB.com
Nationals principal owner Mark Lerner will be the first to tell you the Lerner Group was not happy that the team finished with the worst record in baseball for the second consecutive season. But he will also point out there was real progress made during the second half. Under interim manager Jim Riggleman, the Nationals played better baseball, going 33-42 and winning their last seven games of the 2009 season.
MLB.com reporter Bill Ladson recently caught up with Lerner, who answered questions by email about the Nationals and other topics surrounding the team.

Strasburg set for Arizona Fall League debut
By Barry M. Bloom / MLB.com
PHOENIX -- If it was Friday night at San Diego State this past college season, it was Stephen Strasburg night at Tony Gwynn Stadium -- standing-room-only crowds amid great anticipation and excitement.
Thus it may be no coincidence that the first Arizona Fall League (AFL) start for Major League Baseball's No. 1 pick -- by the Nationals -- in this past June's First-Year Player Draft will be on Friday at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
It's still Stephen Strasburg Friday nights.

Strasburg sees first game action as pro
By David Villavicencio
VIERA, Fla. -- Special. Phenomenal. A star in the making.
Nearly two months after receiving the largest signing bonus for a drafted player and four months since he last pitched in a game, Stephen Strasburg was everything the Nationals expected in his professional debut Monday afternoon at Space Coast Stadium.
The right-hander held the Detroit Tigers' instructional league team to one run on three hits over two innings while striking out two batters. Strasburg, who entered the game with a 40-pitch limit, was happy to be pitching in a game for the first time since his final collegiate start on May 29.

Late burst doesn't benefit Nationals
By Bill Ladson
WASHINGTON -- Before the 2009 season started, the Nationals believed they would be better than last year's team, which lost 102 games. Acquiring Adam Dunn, Scott Olsen and Josh Willingham was the impetus for that thinking.
Washington also thought a healthy Ryan Zimmerman would make a world of difference, offensively and defensively.
But the season turned out to be the worst in team history. The Nationals lost 103 games, and will get the first pick in the 2010 First-Year Player Draft for the second consecutive season.
A struggling pitching staff and defensive lapses were the main reasons for the team's woes.
