I get the sense many in the media as well as fans are overlooking/minimizing some of what's he's said/done in the not too distant past. In the long run, Nats may well be better off if he struggles a bit and spends more time in the minors. Media keeps referring favorably to Davey pushing for Gooden to be in the majors for the Mets at 19. Looked good for a while, but not so good in the long run. If Harper lands with the nats this year, hopefully what seems to be a strong clubhouse character will keep him in line.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-71866428786744232912012-03-02T23:00:37.141-05:002012-03-02T23:00:37.141-05:00OK, you've won me over, I'll settle on an ...OK, you've won me over, I'll settle on an identifiable pseudonym from now on, and when I don't use this, you'll know it's not me, and should feel free--encouraged, in fact--to just ignore the post.
