I'm not sure how many of you have followed, or even heard of, the development of high school sophomore sensation Bryce Harper, a player who a year ago was
pegged as the easy top pick available for the 2011 draft, and one that might have given Strasburg a run for his money as the #1 overall pick this year.
As Allan Simpson reports, Harper is going to forego his final two years in high school to enter junior college and be eligible next spring for the 2010 draft.

I don't think I can't say how crazy of a development this is. To no surprise, Scott Boras is his agent, always looking for new ways to improve his advisees' statuses. The Washington Nationals, put to the task of trying to sign Strasburg, still have to be licking their chops at the possibility of drafting two potentially once-in-a-lifetime prospects with back-to-back first overall picks.
If this all goes down without any snags, following the College of Southern Nevada will be like following the circus next spring. Anyone looking to make a trip to Vegas next spring should also try to check out this young phenom, much like people flocked out to see Strasburg during his spring tour.
