Re: Bryce Harper, "Baseball's Lebron James"
I guess I watched a different video than Palo because I saw a ball hit to relatively deep LF and Bonds getting it home on one hop.

Bonds got a ton of extra credit in the Gold Glove award determinations based on his work in the batter's box just like Murphy and Gwynn did.

so you think he has hit a bump in the road simply b/c he has nothing left to prove? interesting.

Re: Bryce Harper, "Baseball's Lebron James"
A blogger at Harper's game Last Night (5/27/11) talks about how he was impressed by Harper even though he went 1 for 5.

No, no it doesn't. Everyone knows about the Sid Bream play. It's still just one play, and he would be far from the first guy who's an elite defender to end up looking bad on one specific play. Sorry.

He hit a bump because he has nothing to work for and because his ego has been hurt. And because he's soft and a high school senior.
