Strasburg II
While it takes years to go from once-in-a-generation catcher Wieters I to go to Wieters II (Montero) to Wieters III (Bryce Harper), it took only two+ months to go from once-in-a-generation Strasburg I to Strasburg II (Aroldis Chapman).
The difference is that he walked ALOT of hitters in the minors, so he is unlike the polished Strasburg. It’ll be interesting to see what the forecasters do with Chapman (who given his walk rate, might be more like the young Nolan Ryan and Randy Johnson, themselves also once-in-a-generation pitchers).
Place your bets, gentlemen, place your bets…
