Strasburg the Hypocrit?

[Kingdom]

That's cool and all to call out Bryce Harper, but I seem to recall Strasburg not signing until the 11th hour. Of course, Strasburg had far more hype, potential, and the propensity to have a greater immediate impact on the sport, but he still didn't jump on the wagon right away either. Fair or foul?

At the same time, I don't think Strasburg threatened to go back and play for a junior college and lead them to a title, so maybe he's got a point..

"If [Harper] wants to play here, he's going to play here," Strasburg said Sunday, after pitching five innings in the Nationals' win over Arizona. "He doesn't need advice from anybody to convince him otherwise. If he doesn't want to play here, then we don't want him here."

I don't think he is a hypocrite for saying what he did. Sure he (Boras) went to the 11th hour but he is just saying Harper doesn't need any advice from anyone. If he wants to be a professional ballplayer, he'll get Boras to do whatever it takes just like Stras did.

The Harper magic is already starting to show. This guy makes enemies wherever he goes, I just think he can't help it. Threatening to go back to college as early as he did, did him no favors. I imagine he signs, but he isn't handling it with the kind of tact necessary.
