Ben Maller thinks there’s a 75% chance that Bryce Harper is unable to return to the previous MVP-form he was playing at before his graphic spill at first base last week in which he slipped on the rain saturated bag and nearly avoided a catastrophic knee injury.
Maller says the Washington sportswriters keep throwing out this baseless 4-6 weeks timetable that doesn’t sound very realistic, and only seems like a way to sugarcoat the bitter fate of a Nationals team who is obviously outgunned by Los Angeles without a healthy Harper.
