the draft signed with the Washington Nationals.
As expected, the Nationals announced Tuesday that
Strasburg will report to the team's training complex in Viera, Fla., on Friday.
The first game in the instructional league is Sept. 24 and the season runs

Fall League.
Since agreeing to a four-year, $15.1 million contract,
Strasburg has been building up his arm in workout sessions in Florida and
Washington.
