He was hitting .240ish this season but it was his first year in AAA, but the GM of the Nats really liked his approach at the plate. I think he was putting a lot of balls in play perhaps. Not sure..

but I don't know anything about Manny Machado.

Harper was a year & 3 mos younger than Machado

Harper only had 258 pro ABs below AA. Machado has had 836. Not a ton but a lot more than Harper.

Harper showed more in A ball than Machado has shown in 3 years.

I still think Machado will be good... just not yet
