Then you could bring up Bryce to fill his spot, as well as getting premium young talent. If the Nats are contending, probably won't happen. But something's gotta give to let Harper in the lineup, whether that be a trade of LaRoche or whatever.

But at his age and with his body type, it's hard to imagine him holding his value past a couple years. Besides, he'll be a free agent after next season, and if he continues to put up equal numbers will garner a pretty big paycheck. <br /><br />At some point, they have to get a return on Marrero.

I agree that Harper could be the starting LF by then. But it seems much more likely that Morse moves back to first replacing LaRoche (if that doesn't happen sooner). Even if Marrero is, finally, major league ready, who's to say that he'll be a better hitter than Section 222noreply@blogger.com
