(Smile, Stephen. Vegas loves you!) So it seems Las Vegas oddsmakers like Stephen Strasburg's chances of a big year in 2013; and Gio's not looking to shabby either. Indeed, Vegas sportsbook Bovada.com has installed Stephen Strasburg as 11/2 favorite to win the 2013 NL Cy Young Award, followed by Clayton Kershaw (6/1), Cole Hamels (BOOO! 10/1), and Gio Gonzalez (10/1). Odds for Jordan Zimmermann are set at 25/1. (H/T to PennLive.com) Befriend Nats Enquirer on Facebook. Follow on Twitter.

Bryce Harper gets free burritos for life

Via Gamedayr  |  March 20, 2013
Bryce Harper now has a lifetime worth of free burritos to go along with his $9.9 million contract. Don't believe us? Check out his card.

Bryce Harper spent his off day answering phones for the Nats, got free burritos for life from Chipotle

Via Nationals Enquirer  |  March 19, 2013
Busy day off for Bryce Harper. First, he supposedly spent the day taking season ticket orders on the phone for the Nationals (pic above via @BHarper3407): Later, Harper found out Chipotle gave him his own Bryce Harper burrito card - and burritos for life. "Thanks chipotle for my free burrito's for life card! The best thing ever! I really appreciate it!"...

Player Profile #23: Stephen Strasburg | SP | WAS

Via Baseball Professor  |  March 21, 2013
Despite getting shut down two-thirds of an inning shy of his stated 160-inning limit last year, it’s hard to call Stephen Strasburg‘s first season back from Tommy John surgery anything but an outstanding success. Among the 88 pitchers that threw at least 160 innings (89 if you include Strasburg), his 11.2% swinging strike rate ranked [...]

No clown questions, bro: Bryce Harper fielding Nationals season-ticket calls (photo)

Washington Nationals slugger Bryce Harper apparently had Tuesday off from his real job, so instead of just taking it easy and doing whatever it is that Bryce Harper does to chill and relax — although Harper strikes me as the kind of guy who would use the term “chilax” instead of going with both “relax” and “chill,” but that’s another story altogether — he is spending...

Video: Tim Hudson's Eephus pitch to Adam LaRoche (was really a knuckleball)

Via Nationals Enquirer  |  March 21, 2013
So Tim Hudson threw a ~45 MPH Eephus pitch to his buddy Adam LaRoche in the second inning of Thursday night's Nats-Braves game. Everybody got a good chuckle out of it. Turns out the Eephus pitch was actually a knuckleball, LaRoche called for it, and Hudson and LaRoche have "history". Via Amanda Comak of the Washington Times, Hudson likes to mess with LaRoche: ...

Bryce Harper tweets photo of Chipotle card that gives him free burriots for life

Via Sportress of Blogitude  |  March 20, 2013
If there’s one thing we all should be worried about in this wacky world, it’s whether or not major league baseball players have the necessary means to procure themselves a tasty burrito from Chipotle. Obviously, baseball players, such as Washington Nationals slugger Bryce Harper, have millions of dollars in the bank and presumably, vast amounts of cash at their disposal at any...

OUCH! Stephen Strasburg hit in the wrist by Prince Fielder line drive

Via Nationals Enquirer  |  March 22, 2013
Just Stephen Strasburg icing is wrist in the bottom of the fourth after getting drilled in the hand/wrist by a Prince Fielder liner. No big deal. Well, the good news is it was his non-throwing hand...and he finished the inning...and he came out to pitch the fifth. But for a second there the 2013 season flashed before our eyes... (Screencaps via MASN/TV) Befriend...

Bryce Harper receives free burritos for life from Chipotle...or did he? (Photo)

Via Holdout Sports  |  March 20, 2013
Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper won the National League Rookie of the Year in 2012, but some may argue that the award he just received is more valuable: free burritos for life from Chipotle Mexican Grill, with the custom card to prove it. Thanks chipotle for my free burrito's for life card! The best thing ever! I really appreciate it! @chipotletweets twitter.com...

Bryce Harper Has Achieved The Holy Grail, Should Quit While He Is Ahead

Bryce Harper may be only 20-years old but it definitely looks like his life has peaked. Bryce was awarded by Chipotle with a card which gives him free burritos for life. To say I am jealous would be a terrible understatement. Thanks chipotle for my free burrito’s for life card! The best thing ever!

Bryce Harper has a "free burritos for life" card from Chipotle (Photo)

Via Outside the Boxscore  |  March 21, 2013
For those of you who are fans of the Mexican-chain restaurant Chipotle, you have a reason to be uber-jealous of Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper. Harper recently received a special card that allows him to get free burritos for life and proof of the card was posted to his Twitter page:

Ntas Links: Bryce Harper sells tickets

Via DC Pro Sports Report  |  March 20, 2013
Of course we mean that in more than one way.  The young phenom former first overall draft pick sells tickets by being on the Washington Nationals roster.  Just like side kick pitcher Stephen Strasburg.  It helps that both of these young stars are central to the Nationals roster build orchestrated by GM Mike Rizzo.  Furthermore, both are central to helping the Nationals to the...

Nats Links: Bryce Harper drives in 4 runs

Via DC Pro Sports Report  |  March 21, 2013
An article I linked up in yesterday's Nats Links indicated three questions for the 2013 Washington Nationals.  One of those questions was whether Bryce harper would suffer a sophomore slump in 2013.  If the Grapefruit League is any indication, I would say the answer is emphatically, NO! Harper went 2 for 3 with a double and 4 runs driven in to lead the Nats over the Marlins...

Astros manager Bo Porter subtly suggests Strasburg situation mishandled

Via Reading Between The Seams  |  March 21, 2013
Nothing like an honest answer to an honest question.  In what would seem like the furthest thing from begging a criticism of the much maligned decision by the Washington Nationals last year to shut Stephen Strasburg down as he approach 200 innings, Bo Porter answered a question regarding Houston Astros catcher Jason Castro and his durability with a jab at the Strasburg limit via...
