Official - Nats NOT Concerned With Harper's Demeanor

[Jaypers]

I knew they wouldn't be. From Rotoworld:


Bryce Harper: Nats aren't worried about Harper's 'attitude'
Bryce Harper - C - HS - Apr. 29 - 1:15 pm et
A high-ranking Nationals official told Mark Zuckerman of Nats Insider that the club has no concerns about the makeup of 17-year-old Bryce Harper.
"Is he confident? Yeah," said the team official. "Is he cocky? Yeah. Does he think he's the best player on the field at all times? Yeah. But find me a great player who doesn't think that about himself." The team official went on to say that a recent report by Baseball Prospectus was "way overblown." Harper is batting .410 with 21 homers, 59 RBI and a 1.414 OPS with the College of Southern Nevada. He is expected by many to be the first pick in June's First-Year Player Draft. Apr. 29 - 1:15 pm et

WOW.

Wood bats as well.....

They would be CRAZY not to take him. I think the quote is DEAD on in the article. The best players always think they are the best on the field.

WOW.

What do you think would be equivalent of Harper's statistics if a player was in a big time conference? What would be as impressive as .410, 21, 59, 1.414?

Probably because they are. How many games has Harper played in which he wasn't the best player on the field?

If the player had Harper's exact skillset?

Likely even better, especially in the power numbers. The rest of them use metal, turning many of those doubles and flyouts to HR's.

You don't think the quality of pitching makes a significant difference?

What makes you think that his conference has bad pitching?

The conference he plays in has 6 teams, and only two of them have team ERA's above 3.90 (Colorado NW and College of Eastern Utah suck).

CSN also plays teams like Yavapai and Chipola, which are good JC programs.

Is harper THAT good? Yes, but he isn't hitting against the School of the Blind, Deaf, and Dumb.

The question should be if Harper is concerned with the Nats makeup. What kid dreams of getting drafted by the Expos?

Pretty sure he doesn't care much. His dream is to play in the Majors, bottom line.

There's a big difference between the guy who tells you he's the best there is as opposed to the guy who knows he is but doesn't tell you. Hopefully, he just lets his play on the field be the judge.

His stats versus left handed pitching wouldn't be has impressive.

There is a huge drop off between Juco pitching, and high major, D1 pitching.
