Nats close to hiring Harper's college coach Tim Chambers as a scout

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/baseball/mlb/05/04/nationals.chambers/index.html

Byron Kerr and Bill Ladson both reporting that this rumor is in fact false.

Rizzo denies #Nats interested in Chambers;

College of Southern Nevada baseball coach Tim Chambers told me that he has "absolutely not" been offered a job with the Nats.
Tim said he called the Nats Assistant General Manager Roy Clark last night and they joked about how the media frenzy with him and the interest in his player, Bryce Harper, most likely fueled this type of speculation.

....

"I don't have the time to be a scout. I am a college coach. I have a family and can't be traveling around all the time scouting."
