I thought about buzzing over to watch this. His brother also plays on the same team and is a helluva pitcher. I can't wait for this kid to get to the bigs. He'll probably be about the same age as Jr., Heyward and Rodriguez when he puts on an MLB uniform, he's in that class of players. Think Josh Hamilton without a career derailed by drugs.

Quote from:  Kevin Goldstein, of Baseball Prospectus
It's impossible to find any talent evaluator who isn't blown away by Harper's ability on the field, but it's equally difficult to find one who doesn't genuinely dislike the kid.  One scout called him among the worst amateur players he's ever seen from a make-up stand-point, with top-of-the-scale arrogance, a disturbingly large sense of entitlement, and on field behavior that includes taunting opponents. "He's just a bad, bad guy," said one front office official.
