Forgiving Nationals' starter Stephen Strasburg

Washington Nationals' starter Stephen Strasburg is on the 15-Day DL, and he's already hard at work on trying to sort things out so he can get back. Maybe the time off will allow the 26-year-old right-hander to get back on track.

It's not Stephen Strasburg's fault that he was hyped beyond belief throughout his final collegiate season and all the way up to the majors.

Having followed him that entire time from San Diego State University to the Nationals' system and up through his electric MLB debut, I'm willing to bet he would have been perfectly fine without the over-the-top attention.
