Happy Harper return day!
Harper, in fact, reiterated that point on Monday. He said he found out Williams’ lineup on Twitter and respects his skipper’s decision to put him back in left. That said, he thinks the Nats’ best lineup is a little different than the one constructed on Monday.“I’m in the lineup, that’s all that matters. If I had the lineup it would maybe not be the same. But he’s got the lineup card, he’s got the pen and he knows what he’s doing. There’s nothing I can do about it,” he said.Harper explained that point further.“I think [Zimmerman] is great and he should be playing left. Rendon’s a great third baseman and he should be playing third. And we got one of the best second basemen in the league in Danny Espinosa. Of course you want the best hitting lineup in there, and I think Rendon playing third and Zim playing left is something that is good for this team and I think that should be what’s happening.”Williams had the message relayed to him and was measured in his response.“We’re happy to have him back,” he said. “I don’t have any comment other than that. We’re glad to have him in our lineup and hopefully I can write his name in there every single day for the rest of the year. That would be very important to our club.”[/qupte]http://natsinsider.com/2014/06/30/harper-williams-give-thoughts-on-lineup/

http://natsinsider.com/2014/06/30/harper-williams-give-thoughts-on-lineup/Not the smartest thing he's ever said chemistry-wise, but he's on point.
Chemistry-wise, what he said was a major freak up."I'm in the line up, that's all that matters.," Dick.
Got my minions holding it down and hooking me up.
Chemistry wise he sided with Espinosa over span, not sure we know how the rest of the club House feels
She looks cute
Chemistry wise he sided with Espinosa over span,
What? You know that the dirty ones wear thumb rings. Good for stroking
Very surprising comments by Harper. I've always thought of him as fairly intelligent and extremely savvy with the media for someone of his youth and inexperience. But he really stepped in it. Williams should shred him a new one.
Managers haven't had that kind of power over stars for years (decades?). Williams can shred a guy who rides the bench or is barely in the majors, but what happens if a guy like Harper tells him to freak off? Would he send him to the minors? Bench him? What manager would pick a fight they can't win? Maybe Harper should have more respect for the game (like his ped using manager?)
Uh, he benched him just earlier this year. But maybe shredding him a new one was a bit too strong. He should just give him a good talking to.
I don't agree with everything Harper has done but this is just over the top from Boz. Pretty shameful.http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/nationals/thomas-boswell-bryce-harper-returns-to-the-nationals-with-attitude/2014/06/30/4cd30d60-00aa-11e4-b8ff-89afd3fad6bd_story.html
