    How long till Bryce Harper is back in the minors?

    they can't honestly keep this kid in the starting lineup and expect to win long term.......can they?

    Were they going to win before he came on board? I mean these are the Nationals that we are talking about.


    He is great on defense as well.

    kid barely has 200 ab's over AA and people are already calling him a bust. Kid is an amazing talent at his age, he'll figure alot of things out and make adjustments over the next few years. won't reach his physical prime for another half decade. I think we'll see less upside out of him, as he was already more refined at 13 years of age than most Latino players are at age 17 slugging their way into America...

    He has been pressed into duty. This would be a non factor if Nats had started poorly and had been out of contention by May 1, like they normally are.

    Depends on the injury situation and whether Washington is still contending. I say he probably goes back down for a bit and is back up in September.

    yeah i can't see them sending him down now after bringing him up. before he came up wash, had the worst stats in the mlb for a LF.

    mourse will play 1b, he played the majority of his cames there, laRouche will be a bench player. having a good 1.5 month but its not going to last long-term. werth is their RF.

    when is Morse expected to return anyone know?
    Michael Morse | 1B | WSH
    Morse (lat) hit from a tee Friday and will head to Viera to continue his rehab Monday, Amanda Comak of The Washington Times reports.
    Spin:
    He may be two weeks away from returning to the Nats, but Morse's best bet could still be a June 8 return to the lineup as he would be able to serve as a DH during Interleague play when the Nats are on the road at that time.

    um yes that was the plan when they signed larouche was to be a bench player.
    hes not going to keep up this pace, so can we simmer down about how great of a year he is having.

    I wouldn't doubt Laroche to have a career year, his problem always seemed to be he entered May hitting under .200 with a .500 OPS.

    guy actually started the season with some solid consistency
