What do you guys think of this cat? I have not seen him in person, but the youtube clips look pretty impressive. Is he going to be all that has been hyped up, the next Lebron? What do you think?

He mine as well cash in as soon as possible.

No telling on how good he'll be.

Should be a National, too. Harper and Strasburg are the two most highly touted prospects I can think of since I don't even know. Andruw?

This guy will be a number one pick in two years. He is only 16 and already is being compared to Arod. His body is perfect for him to thrive. I believe getting him out of school to get him ready for 2 years is a good move considering he will make millions soon anyway

Looks like the plan is to have him play JC this fall and be ready for the 2010 draft. How ironic is it that the Nats get maybe the two most decorated prospects in at least a dozen years.

Watching Harper play he sort of looks like a Joe Mauer with major power. Let's see if he has Mauer's class and demeanor.

Your right. except i am not really excited with what how far the nationals will go with him being their pick because they have far more dire needs than him. however i am much more excited to see him individually. I have seen videos on this guy play and he to me looks like a superstar

What positions are they set at besides 3rd and a couple of starters (Strasburg included) that
Harper wouldnt be the choice?
