If you listened to my Bryce Harper strategy pre-draft, especially in a keeper league and spent a few dollars on him because of the NL King's article, you are loving the NL King right now. What can we expect? In AAA so far this year, in 20 games Harper's numbers are very ordinary to say the least (1HR, 3RBI, 8R, 1SB, .250 Avg). But
this kid's talent is immense. Is it possible that Harper is not ready and winds up getting sent down after 3 weeks or so? Yes of course if Harper struggles he needs more time than the Nats will send him down, remember Mickey Mantle was sent down as well Roy Halladay at the beginning of their careers. But having said that, If Harper can show he can a decent to solid option I think the plan is for him to stay. The Nats are not going to yo-yo him between the majors and AAA unless he is not ready. I would expect good power numbers with the potential for much more of course, I also can see him giving you some nice secondary steals (not a ton but if he stayed for the rest of the season I could see 10 to 12 steals) and let's say batting average around .250. It should be fun to watch Bryce Harper. NL King - C.Lizza
