Of course, its going to be hard for Harper to be more valuable than a slugging shortstop who walks a lot. Whats better than having the # prospect in the game? Having the #1 and #2 prospects in the game which the Orioles will have next year.

Good thing they have a proven track record of not ruining top prospects!

Agreed.
Strasburg looks like straight up white trash, but I have nothing against the kid and, when healthy, he's amazing.
Harper should die in a fire

Btown is notorious for being as good a judge of talent as character.

Machado has first ballot swag already. I got him to sign a ball for me after their game in Clearwater and while he was signing it he was trying to get my girlfriend to come back with him to Sarasota. Harper seems more like a roofie and bathroom stall kind of guy.

Last time I checked, Harper and Machado have played in the same number of Major League wins by the their teams: 0. You can't really blame Machado considering he hasn't played a game yet, but obviously Harper's me-first attitude is a noxious cancer that caused the Nats to go from a .700 team to a .000 team. He has single-handidly killed Natitude with his rampant Brycissism

Bryce Harper needs to consult Rick Ankiel about Natitude. Insane hype and underwhelming production = Metitude.

Only 4 Mets ever had hype and 2 of them succeeded (Reyes and Wright succeeded and Doc/Frenchy disappointed). That is a solid ratio. Now if you count Seaver and Ryan, the Mets have a great track record of actually producing on hype.

Machado is going to be a great player in his own right, but people are doing him a huge disservice by comparing him to A Rod. When A-Rod was Machado's age, he had a 40/40 .358 batting average MVP season. If you keep comparing him to A-Rod it will only add too much pressure to a kid who fans already have huge expectations for. Look at Wieters, he was going to be the MVP of baseball from day 1 according to Baseball Prospectus but that hype and pressure set back his development and never fully recovered until this years brilliant season. If he was allowed to grow at his own pace and was kept in the minors longer, he could have been great earlier. It's possible the same fate will occur with Harper.
