Is that you in the pic?

Yes. I'm on the left. We took that photo in Arizona this summer the day of the Futures Game.

I personally don't want him to fail. I just don't like his attitude. But like I said, given his history thus far and his ability to adapt thus far, I think he is the top prospect everyone has said he is.

I would love for him to succeed and help the Nats improve their team. They already are filling some gaps so once he is up, his impact will be really felt.

I've gotta say, I'm pulling for Bryce to live up to the hype.

Re: Bryce the phenom, maybe not.....

I have never seen so many people wanting someone to fail.

Do you all have bat envy?

Haters gonna hate

What about his Double-A numbers, those were great..

Re: Bryce the phenom, maybe not.....

i personally will be very surprised if he doesn't get a real look to make the club out of ST and fully expect him to be trolling the outfield at Nationals stadium by June at the latest.

Re: Bryce the phenom, maybe not.....

Yeah, I am not a fan of his douchy attitude, but I can't not say his performance has been awesome. He has been able to handle baseball wherever he has played. And he is still just 19!

I don't think he is over-hyped. Well maybe just a little, but he is certainly way ahead than anyone else in the minors at that age.

Re: Bryce the phenom, maybe not.....

yeah I meant to find this thread a few weeks back and update it, he tore it up the last few weeks, too bad he still has his douchy attitude

Douche attitude to go along with that steroid jaw. Kid is just another overrated, over hyped prospect.

In case anyone missed it, below are Harper's final 2011 Arizona Fall League stats. Looks like he did alright! He hit .333 (31 for 93) with 14 extra base hits (6 homers), 26 RBI, 17 runs scored, .400 OBP and .634 slugging pct. (1.034 OPS.)

In his last 10 games, he hit .427 with a .487 OBP and .743 slugging pct. (1.230 OPS). Nats fans are pleased!

Give the kid some time.He is going to be really good I think.

Re: Bryce the phenom, maybe not.....

FYI guys it was said in jest. I know he will come around eventually. If anything its good that he is finally starting to struggle a little. He needs to be humbled a bit and learn to get himself out of a slump and emotionally get through it.

Re: Bryce the phenom, maybe not.....

If you haven't been mired in an 0 for 13 slump, odds are you haven't played pro ball. Bryce will figure things out; he's got all the talent in the world.
