As the Washington Nationals sweat it out in dealing with first pick Stephen Strasberg and his agent Scott Boras, they quietly signed their other first round pick Drew Storen to a $1.6 million signing bonus...Storen was selected just nine picks after Strasberg...the 6'2" righthanded pitcher from Stanford went 7-1 with seven saves and a 3.80 ERA in 28 appearances for the Cardinal...in 42 2/3 innings of relief work, he tallied 66 strikeouts (13.9 strikeouts per nine innings) in his two years at Stanford, Storen had a combined 12-4 mark with 15 saves and a 3.64 ERA in 59 appearances...
Storen will start his professional career at Class A Hagerstown and wear No. 26...he is being groomed to be a closer...
