The day before last year's draft phenom Stephen Strasburg makes his major league debut with the Nationals, they have drafted another superstar in the making. Bryce Harper is only 18 years old but has been a hitting machine since birth. You can debate the parental logic of letting a kid quit school, get his GED and then play baseball at age 17 at a junior college... but he's probably going to sign a $15 million contract - at minimum.Tonight, we finally get to see the debut of Cy Young... I mean Stephen Strasburg. I loved the quote from the Nationals pitching coach - "now - every fifth day I'll be a great coach!" HA! It's interesting to see all the coaches and administration caught up in the Strasburg frenzy. Hopefully for his sake, he'll thrive on the pressure.Only time will tell. |
