So far, Bryce Harper is living up to the ridiculous hype - Grantland:
'via Blog this'
If you don't want to read the whole thing, here's the nut graph:
Bryce Harper, age 19, is the best hitter on a first-place team.
The only thing that haunts me, as a pessimist by nature, is the name Tony Congilario. He's always the guy on these teenage lists who isn't a Hall of Famer. We all know why and that thought hangs over every discussion of Harper's future. It could be taken away so easily, so quickly and end up being just a footnote rather than the grand epic novel we're hoping for.
It was a pleasure to listen to the BS Report from Monday where Red Sox fan Bill Simmons recalled his teams weekend series with the Nats. "Guys throwing 100mph, scoring from first on doubles their just a good team and we're not." Respect comes slowly then it comes all at once.
