Strasburg MLB's Most Marketable Young Star

Only seven weeks into his MLB career, Stephen Strasburg already is the league's most marketable player under the age of 25, according to THE DAILY's exclusive survey of sports business execs and media personalities. The young flamethrower may have only eight starts under his belt, but he has more than lived up to the ridiculously lofty expectations, almost singlehandedly reigniting interest in the Nationals in the nation's capital. Experts cite Strasburg's early accomplishments and long-term potential as the biggest factors propelling his marketability ahead of other, more established young stars. Meanwhile, reactions to Derek Jeter's selection as the most marketable overall player in MLB are almost unanimously supportive of the Yankees captain. But some wonder about the overall marketability of baseball players, arguing a sharp drop-off exists after Jeter.
