Baseball phenom Bryce Harper who is 16 by the way is going to skip his last two years of high school to turn pro. If you have read the Sports Ilustrated article you know that he is damn good, 567ft home runs and a think a 97 mph fast ball batting .600 in his last year of high school baseball.
Now he is being touted as the "Choosen One" for the sport of baseball like LeBron was for the NBA. Now, baseball if the toughest sport to transition from young kid to man in the mental aspect of sports. In my opinion this is a huge mistake and it's not a matter of if but when this will fail. It's not Bryce's fault either you can blame his dad for this one. I'm all for making as much money as you can, but skipping the final two years of high school to do it is insane. Those carrer minor leaugers are going to chew him up and get in his head and there is nothing mommy and daddy can do about it. When this does fail, and you can determine failure as getting 20 million up front failure, we need to have the dad stand up and just say he fucked up and wanted to live through his son. We also need to blame SI for the article and putting it in his head and sucking his dick so much. But, hey who am I to day anything I'm working nights for peanuts comapred to what he will make so go head kid make your money.
