In what may be the wave of the future, young rookie phenom, Steven Strasburg, has signed an endorsement deal based on his fantasy baseball stock. With the help of super agent Scott Boras, Strasburg inked a deal over the weekend with North American toothbrush giant, Oral-B. Franklin McCourt, Oral-B vice president of advertising, said that the company is planning on re-introducing one of their most famous toothbrush models, "the Reach", to the American public. "Steven just seemed to be the perfect fit for us due to the fact that I know in almost every fantasy baseball league out there, some moron will reach for the unproven rookie about 8 rounds too early, and you know who you are out there." The terms of the deal remain undisclosed, but since Scott Boras was involved, one can only assume it was very client friendly. Boras has managed to put even more of a spotlight onto what teammates are referring to as "Jesus". Without even throwing a pitch this season, young Strasburg has the weight of a city and his team on his shoulders. Now if only Adam Dunn would sign a deal with Jenny Craig.
