Harper wants to build winning team in D.C.

Sat Bryce Harper on the night of the possibility of the most prominent in the history of election for the first time, back and wait. It would be the No. 1 in the draft in 2010, it is assumed, follow the year 2009 No. 1 choice of Stephen Strasbourg Park citizens one day, in the minds of fans and the club both executives to become part of a core group to become the prerogative of the companies have also been losing to the opponent.

"It would be surprising that at all and play with him and try to build a winning team with the citizens," Harper said Tuesday, a day after Washington and select from 17 years in the College of Southern Nevada.

But when that might happen may be most important question in the summer of citizens. For citizens to August 15 to sign Harper, who is represented by an agent, Scott needles Borras. In the past year, through negotiation with the Strasbourg Borras and people along the way down to the final hours before working out a record 15.1 million deal.

When Harper was asked Tuesday about negotiations and imminent, he took a long pause. "I do not know," he said. "I'll leave the negotiating to Boras and things like that."

Boras declined primarily to respond to all specific questions about Harper on Tuesday in a park for the citizens.

He played professional ball this year? "This is a decision that Price and his family to make," said Porras.

In response to a question about how the wider negotiations might go with some of the top players selected in the draft, Boras pointed to a quick deal seems unlikely.

The president, in a cautious manner, he believed that Harper - who graduated from high school early so he could enter the draft early - is a special talent, just as it was in Strasbourg last year. Without mention of the citizens, and spoke about the transition from X-Tampa Bay, who built one of the best baseball teams through the draft.

"You can count in a period of almost 10 years and it is probably less than 10 players in this category - which really would be in the league for a period of 15.20 years, and played a very high level," said Porras. He added, "If these types of players are not available, and I think you have what you usually do not have a chance to get".

As for Harper, said he would not resist the transition to a baseball field of fishing ("I'm pretty stoked about it"), that stop wearing eye black to look like war paint ("This very well").

After the completion of Boras deal with cases of Strasbourg and Harper, Mark Lerner, the owner of citizens approached the Agent - and hugged him.

"I am confident that we will work with a bit of Scott Boras and his organization," said Lerner. "I think Bryce wants to play very badly."
