Is Strasburg the best there ever was?

Buster Olney's COLUMN today at ESPN.com is on San Diego State's Stephen Strasburg and raises the question: Is Strasburg the best college pitcher ever?

At least one scouts thinks so.

MLB.com also takes a look at Strasburg in its first DRAFT REPORT, which leads off with analysis of the 2009 draft's consensus No. 1 overall pick.

Here's a BLOG POST I did last week that shows how Strasburg stacks up against some of the best pitchers in college history. He's on an early pace to do some amazing things. The numbers will be even more incredible if the Aztecs can somehow make it to the NCAA Tournament.

By the way, Strasburg earned conference and national Player of the Week honors for the second straight week in recognition of his 18-strikeout performance in last week's 5-3 win over USD.
