Well, the vast majority of people were extolling Strasburg's mechanics, though I have one guy who was way ahead of the curve on this. Look up Chris O'Leary and this particular set of articles: http://www.chrisoleary.com/projects/PitchingMechanics101
/Analyses/StephenStrasburg.html#Houston,_We_Have_A_(Timing)_Problem

This is perhaps one of the simplest explanations of mechanics I've seen, though I am certainly no expert.

Five Picks -- 5 -- no Pans in the upcoming Guide.

Not to worry: they all have to do with the fact that Strasburg's innings will be limited. Each panner showers him with praise.

Davidson hedges somewhat, saying his "elite skills are undeniable" but his "mechanics worry me to the point that I probably won't be able to pay the necessary price for his services. I hope I'm wrong on this one, but I see more arm trouble down the road for the talented fireballer."

It's a worry, definitely. Nevertheless, before his arm trouble, it seems to me scouts raved about Strasburg's mechanics. Maybe they still do; maybe it's just Davidson. I'm not a scout, but I can't see anything wrong with his delivery.

Anyway, I'm buying. Especially in mixed leagues. When he reaches his innings limit, I'll have a good pitcher on the bench to run out there in his place.
