It’s good to hear from Strasburg on the show here. It really wouldn’t have been good for the draft show to not have the No. 1 pick on the show. Strasburg told friend of BA Kirk Kenney that he didn’t want to go back east to be on a draft show and not share the moment with teammates, coaches, family and friends. And Kirk also reports Strasburg is not, as had been blogged, at Boras Corp., but is instead having a draft party at his mother’s home—which is just a two or three miles from Tony Gwynn Stadium.

However, he’s apparently on his way now up the coast to Boras Corp. for a press conference.
