Thoughts?
I read his SI story a couple of weeks ago, and of course he sounds amazing in it (exaggerations?), but I'm not sure how I feel about him forgoing his high school education to make sure he's in the draft next year.
Granted, this brings to light an issue that's been prevalent in MLB for years--international athletes can sign at 16, but Americans have had to wait until 18. Harper is attempting to circumvent those rules.
