When asked about outfielder Bryce Harper's return to the starting lineup, Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth made some strange comments, according to The Washington Post.
"We’ll see which Bryce shows up," Werth said. "Of course, getting Bryce back will be huge. How many teams would like to acquire a power, left-handed bat and an outfielder who plays with his hair on fire? If he plays with his hair on fire. Like I said, we’ll see which Bryce shows up."
Harper had established a reputation of going all out prior to the injury. After running into the outfield wall in Los Angeles, Harper was more timid. While Werth could be hinting at Harper getting back to his all-out antics, first baseman Adam LaRoche took a different approach. "We just need to keep him out of trouble, keep him away from anything dangerous and he’ll be all right," LaRoche said.
Harper is hitting .287/.386/.587 in 150 at-bats.
