    I am stunned that Strasburg is being compared to Upton in terms of grade. Sure they have similar WAR, but as you said Stras drove the Nats to a title. While he underperformed his expectations, he was as good as you can expect from a 1st overall pick

      While Stephen Strasburg had quite a lot more hype and year-in year-out buzz, Justin Upton had expectations so high that he debuted at 19. Both had most of their major injuries after setting a hall of fame trajectory around 30- Justin Upton had about 1600 hits and 286 home runs at that age.

    So I’m an Orioles fan. But I admittedly walked away from baseball from around 2002-2018. I always went to a game every year in Baltimore though. Always rooted for them. And between 08’ and 14’, I at least new the bigger stars in the league. So I wasn’t completely detached from baseball. But it never dawned on me that the same Delmon Young that hit the bases clearing double against Detroit, was the same guy that threw the bat at the umpire in the minors. I’ve seen that clip for years now. It just clicked. Had no idea that was the same guy. And he hit one of the biggest hit for my team in the past couple decades. 😂

      There’s basically two ways to think about it- ABCD are grades of passing and F stands for Failure, so not being consecutive like the others makes it stand out more, and at the time when it was being widely adopted, there was no standard nationwide and education was spotty, so E was being interpreted as being for “Excellent” as opposed to being seen as the last of the grade system, since the parents had not been graded with such a system and it was unfamiliar
