In a recent piece for the Washington Post, columnist Thomas Boswell wrote some very harsh things about Harper’s time in the outfield with the Nationals — and at least one of Harper’s teammate agreed.

Though few mention it, subtracting Harper, while it will cost 34 homers, a .899 career OPS and some amazing hair flips, would help any team improve its attention to fundamentals. When the most famous player on the team can’t go 10 days without failing to run out a groundball or overthrowing a cutoff man by 15 feet or throwing to the wrong base or being caught unprepared in the outfield or on the bases, it’s hard to demand total alertness from the other 24.

“Write it,” one prominent Nats vet said.
You guys are gonna be a better team this year without him. I actually think yall will win the division and the Braves/Phils will battle it out for 2nd and 1 of the WC spots

Soto may end up being better than Harper and Robles looks to be the real deal too. Time will tell.

I think so. He's still a good player but he still leaves you wanting more which will be even more pronounced now with that big contract of his.
