Bryce Harper is going in either the second or third round of most drafts, a spot that shows a lot of optimism for the Nationals' 20-year old. Personally, I like him to do big things in 2013, following in the footsteps of Mickey Mantle, Alex Rodriguez and Ken Griffey, Jr. -- who all had relatively unimpressive 19-year-old seasons and then exploded the next year. It stinks that the hype has pushed Harper so far up (I was banking on him as a solid fifth-round pick), but you might get him at a decent price in auctions, if he stays around $28-$31. It's a hefty price, but history points to Harper taking a major step forward in 2013.
