Are the Nats rushing yet another “savior” to the show in a single season, a la Zimmerman and Strasburg? This tidbit of information arrived in my inbox mere moments ago: Attention Media, Bryce Harper has been promoted to Harrisburg, and is expected to be with the club when they come to Richmond on Friday.
