Hopefully, he'll be more than that.<br /><br />The real question is, if he's not hitting, does he go back to AAA when Morse returns? Morse/Werth/Harper is clearly the best OF in an ideal situation, but the Nats may end up with Morse/Ankiel/Werth being the best "right now" choice if Harper isn't adjusting to major league pitching.DezoPenguinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-13624040719540873372012-04-28T05:39:01.685-07:002012-04-28T05:39:01.685-07:00Nice stat during the broadcast, Nat's left fie...Nice stat during the broadcast, Nat's left fielders are dead last in every offensive category. Harper's currently in the same class defensively as the rest of them and it'd be Dunn-like to hit worse. I'm most curious to see if he plays every day or sits against LHP this first (hopefully last) time up.<br /><br />ChaosAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-44551885657766196512012-04-27T19:56:55.245-07:002012-04-27T19:56:55.245-07:00Well... it makes sense.

I've been wondering how long they were going to keep mixing and matching the outfield. .171, .149 and .091 aren't cutting out there, I don't think he can do too much worse. They need a bat in left until Morse is healthy. Ankiel is making a push to stay in the OF but the other then that it's avg fielding and below avg hitting. I doubt he'll go down when ZMN comes back (his shoulder has looked bad since game 1). Personally think he should have started the year in AA and maybe be pushing for AAA right now but what do I know...Crumpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-44649181109691415972012-04-27T19:26:20.479-07:002012-04-27T19:26:20.479-07:00I am just glad that they brought up an OF and not ...I am just glad that they brought up an OF and not someone to play 3rd. That means Lomba will stay in the lineup and keep the pressure on Desi and and Espy. This also means we can keep the older bats on the bench more often. I am not necessarily a fan of bringing The Kid up this quick, but why not? right?AtlNatsFannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-51073116790284737922012-04-27T18:23:23.325-07:002012-04-27T18:23:23.325-07:00It's not my money, and it'll almost certai...It's not my money, and it'll almost certainly create the Strasmas type atmosphere that attracts more fans to the home games. The Lerner's probably aren't going to lose any money over this either.<br /><br />And on a gut level, it makes me more excited about the team. I agree that Moore might have helped more immediately, but I wouldn't have had the same feeling if he was the one called up. <br /><br />It's excitement, pure and simple.Donaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12295227567170577873noreply@blogger.com
