Washington Nationals’ Bryce Harper shows off amazing Crash Davis-worthy interview skills...
Super agent Scott Boras came as close as anyone has to acknowledging that Bryce Harper was dealing with an injury of some sort (neck/shoulder) when he struggled throughout most of the 2016 campaign to produce the numbers he had in 2015. Harp had an issue that he played through with, that he battled with, Boras explained in an MLB Network Radio interview this winter, that was certainly uncomfortable but still allowed him to play. Harper, however, has steadfastly refused to acknowledge that he was playing with any limitations, whether from a desire to avoid appearing to use an injury as an excuse (the Man-up Approach), a refusal to share personal medical info (the HIPAA Approach), the bore them with cliches approach (aka the Crash Davis Interview Approach) or some other kind of approach we cant think of a (not really) witty descriptor for right now.
