Nationals Call Up Bryce Harper

Nationals to bring up top prospect Bryce Harper - Yahoo! Sports

Someone already took him in my fantasy league. That didnt take long. LOL!

Bryce Harper tends to do things ahead of schedule, so it should surprise no one that he's already heading to the major leagues.

The 19-year-old outfielder, who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 amateur draft, will be recalled by the Washington Nationals from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

''I'm going to put him in left field and let him play,'' manager Davey Johnson said Friday in Los Angeles, where he will bat Harper seventh for the final two games of a series at Dodger Stadium. ''Harp had a great spring training, he's a phenomenal talent, and he's been swinging the bat down there. But we have a need here for a left-handed bat, and he's the guy that fits the role. As far as I'm concerned, he's earned the right to get the opportunity.''

Widely regarded as baseball's top prospect, Harper will take the roster spot of third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, who is going on the 15-day disabled list - retroactive to April 21 - with inflammation in his right shoulder.

I have tickets for the game! I hope Billingsley strikes him out 3 times

I hope you didn't get hit by the LaRoche home run ball!

Nice double by Harper but why did he throw his helmet off? Proud of his faux hawk? Helmet causing wind drag?

[jwgreen68]

I can remember guys like George Brett and Pete Rose losing their helmets while running hard. But they wore their baseball caps under their helmets back then.

Poor Davey Johnson. He looks lost. I don't think he could find the zipper on his pants by himself.

Nope but I caught that Kemp bomb !
