    MLB Have you heard of Bryce Harper?

    I was reading this blog about this kid, and from the way they make him sound, he can't be human. Unfortunately I can't watch the video enclosed here at work, but supposedly he's going to be the next big thing.

    Check it out here.

    So that's why Nick made him so good.

    I've only heard of him because of a sim league so I didn't put much thought into him at the time. But the rave reviews are crazy if anyone googles him.

    "But since we're talking about a kid who's hitting 570-foot home runs"

    Aluminum bats can do that. Just ask Eric Munson.

    In the article posted it talks about how he puts on a home run show with a wooden bat during BP.

    I was thinking of making the feature of my next show on superspecs like him and Strasburg. I'll see if I can get in contact with any ESPN guys and/or scouts. Could be a lot of fun.

    Dustin Ackley will be a nice consolation prize to the team that picks him after Strasburgh goes

    That would be the Mariners. After that, it's a free-for-all.

    The kid could be eligible for the draft next year, if he passes his GED test.

    I guess nobody bothered to remind him that the Nationals don't wear pinstripes nor do they play in Yankee Stadium.

    I know a few guys from the Vedgas area, who have played with/against him, and they have told me that he has some sort of heart condition and he has to take a steriod that is prescribed by a Dr. lol

    So you're saying he has a Hank Gathers type of deal with his heart?

    Interesting, I honestly forgot about Gathers early age death.
