    Nationals Bryce Harper to be recalled Saturday...

    The Nationals announced that Bryce Harper will be called up to make his major league debut Saturday against the Dodgers.
    The Bryce Harper Era is upon us. It's a pretty surprising decision by the Nationals, as many thought they would wait until June to avoid eventual Super Two status. Service time issues aside, Harper is batting just .250/.333/.375 with one homer, three RBI and a .708 OPS over his first 82 plate appearances with Triple-A Syracuse. Impressive numbers for a 19-year-old, but he's hardly tearing things up down there. Still, the Nationals need a boost for their offense with Ryan Zimmerman (shoulder) set to hit the disabled list in a corresponding move. Keep the expectations in check, but Harper is worth adding in all formats.
    Wow. Just wow.

    How embarrassing would it be if Harper hit a homer before Pujols or Giancarlo Stanton?

    It figures the fucking Nats arranged his debut so that Chad Billingsley would be the first pitcher he embarrasses.

    I think Harper should play in AAA for awhile longer. He is not hitting well in AAA.

    They should already be embarrassed that even James Loney has 1 home run.

    This is when we need vBookie. Who hits a home run first? Bryce Harper, Albert Pujols, or a Rockies pitcher?
