Washington Nationals Execs Compare Bryce Harper’s Scrutiny to Jackie Robinson’s
Baseball prodigy Bryce Harper is facing some scrutiny. He’s expected to be the franchise-saving superman at 18. He has drawn heat for some issues of his own making. He’s the only nationally known name in the low minors. Naturally, not one but two Washington Nationals executives drew a comparison with another baseball player who faced scrutiny, Jackie Robinson.
From Tom Verducci’s SI Piece.
“Jackie Robinson,” says Tony Tarasco, a former major leaguer and a Nationals minor league coordinator who has become Harper’s player-development Yoda. “You have to go back to Jackie Robinson to find anybody who goes through this much scrutiny. It wasn’t like this for [Stephen] Strasburg. Wasn’t like this for Alex Rodriguez.”
Jackie Robinson? Surely Doug Harris, the Nationals’ director of player development, with 21 years in pro ball as a player, scout and executive, would find a different comparable for Harper. Independent of Tarasco, Harris offered, “This is really unfair and it’s totally different, but if I can make a comparison to one guy that has been scrutinized like this, it would be Jackie Robinson. And it’s unfair because it was a different standard. He was under a microscope in an era when we didn’t have Internet, didn’t have cellphones.
“Now, Jackie Robinson had his life threatened. I’m not comparing Bryce to that. But as far as nonstop scrutiny? Absolutely. Day to day.”
Absolutely. Bryce Harper having a few baseballs thrown at him day to day, for being an immature dick, is surely analogous to Jackie Robinson facing the full brunt of America’s racism because of his skin color.
Consider the onslaught Bryce is under. Internet. Cell-phones. 24-hour media. Blogs! They didn’t even have ESPN when Robinson played. When Jackie wasn’t single-handedly confronting an actively hostile public, legalized segregation in the north and south and 300 years of history, he could really sit back and get some me time.
Bryce Harper chooses to isolate himself from his teammates. Many places Jackie Robinson went, the choice was made for him.

Maybe because A-Rod and Strasburg were legit Major Leaguers soon after being drafted. Not high A prima donnas. Can’t wait for the fail.
July 27th, 2011 at 4:48 PM
People are so lazy. Instead of finding a real example, they go for the shock value one instead. Like Jay Bilas comparing the negotiating rights of college players to slaves, politicians calling each other Hitler and countless other examples. Bitches be lazy.
July 27th, 2011 at 4:49 PM
It sure as shit was like this for Strasburg, Tony. And neither Alex nor Stephen were immature brats during their time in the minors. It wasn’t until later we found out A-Rod was a dick.
At least Doug Harris gave his remarks some context, even if I don’t agree with them. But Tony Tarasco is out of his goddamn mind. Good write up, Duffy.
July 27th, 2011 at 4:49 PM
Well done Duffy. You kept, short, simply, and appropriately scathing.

Bryce Harper is no pioneer, everyone knows Reggie Jackson was the true Jackie Robinson of baseball assholes being accepted by the fans
July 27th, 2011 at 4:53 PM
The guy is probably a dick, but he didn’t compare himself to Robinson. His idiot management did.
July 27th, 2011 at 4:54 PM
Good for these guys. For once, a white guy is not compared to another white guy.

nice ending duff
July 27th, 2011 at 4:59 PM
I would think they would know better. My read of this is that they seem him grinding under the pressure (who wouldn’t?) and they didn’t want to say he was an 18-year old still figuring it out since he’s been annointed already.
I was expressing my lack of sympathy for him …
July 27th, 2011 at 5:02 PM
Nice takedown Duffy, and agreed with the fuck Harper sentiment. Halladay, Lee and Hamels will not put up with his shit.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:02 PM
Seriously. I want to read what he’s got to say about this one.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:07 PM
Now if Bryce Harper turned out to be gay and if this was an open secret throughout the teams and leagues he plays in, then Tarasco and Harris might have something. Maybe.
But comparing him to Robinson is akin to doing the French Mistake.
/really, I just wanted to link the video, it’s been stuck in my head all day.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:08 PM
Wasn’t the reason why Jackie Robinson was first is because they thought he was best suited to handle the scrutiny? (Scrutiny being a euphemism for racism.)
July 27th, 2011 at 5:08 PM
The scrutiny Casey Anthony is facing is on par with Rosa Parks.

Eh they’re trying to protect their star prospect. Was he supposed to sift through the archives and come up with a name that’s faced equal amounts of media attention and scrutiny, or just say some name that he knew everyone would jump all over and identify with? I don’t think he deserves much shit for this.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:16 PM
However it is a dumb thing to say. I was just pointing out that, personally, I don’t find it to be a big deal. Just some exec saying something stupid.

I don’t mind. I don’t hate Jeter though (FOR THE LAST TIME! haha)
July 27th, 2011 at 5:32 PM
That’s funny. Of course there is a difference between idiocy and a threat.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:35 PM
Also I’m not saying the media twisted this. However, the media is a lot larger now (muuuuuch larger) than it was even ten years ago. It’s not a fair comparison, because Robinson was doing something historic (even though black players did play professional baseball before Robinson) meanwhile Harper is just a promising prospect.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:35 PM
GSG: How do you feel about how Mikey T is navigating FA so far. I keep getting more excited by the second.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:38 PM
You’re not getting Nnamdi.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:40 PM
Man, I was pumped to hear they resigned Holmes. If they get Asmougha, I’ll 1). Dance in the streets and 2). help Cromo pack. Harris is a FA too, isn’t he? So Woody, Harris, Edwards and Smith would most likely be gone. If they work on the O-line we’re unstoppable.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:40 PM
You’re most likely correct, however they’re trying. That’s all you can ask.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:41 PM
You just had to poke your peasy ass head in didn’t you?

July 27th, 2011 at 5:44 PM
GSG: Woody is out. Hunter steps in. Harris will get signed. Did you see how much Santonio is getting this year? Mikey T doing fucking WORK. Braylon has all but cleaned out his apartment, too.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:44 PM
Oh good. Well have fun.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:46 PM
Hope Holmes knows how to catch passes when he’s triple covered.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:46 PM
Jesus! Is that contract backloaded to shit? Either way, they still have a boatload of money left to work with.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:47 PM
I think you’re forgetting about THE man, Jerricho Cotchery.
/one of the two who are his biggest supporters
July 27th, 2011 at 5:47 PM
He’s still got Jerricho Cotchery, Dustin Keller and I’m sure they’ll pick up someone off the vintage rack like Moss, TO, or even a desperate for attention Ocho.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:48 PM
The right side of the line worries me. Not too concerned about LG because it’s between Mangold and Brick.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:49 PM
If anything, that is a testament to Santonio. I’m sure most of his guaranteed doe shows up in years 2 and 3, and then it’s the “who gives a fuck” part of the contract.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:49 PM
You think they’ll take a pay cut? THOSE 3? Sheeeeeeeeeeit.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:50 PM
Out of those three, I’d want Ocho. That’s not saying much though since TO is coming off of surgery and Moss is the biggest bitch of the three.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:52 PM
His cap hit for year 2 is $8.6M, Jersey. It rises $1.45M each year after that. So in year 4, when you need to re-sign your offensive line, well… good luck.
If they don’t get Nnamdi (which they won’t), you may regret this (you will).
July 27th, 2011 at 5:52 PM
Well Wayne palyed in more than enough games while Damien was too banged up. Brandon Moore has too get healthy and Ducasse needs to start mattering.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:53 PM
As long as I don’t hear “Holding – Number sixty Eight – offense” this year I’ll be fine.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:54 PM
TO did last year. Moss and Ocho won’t have a choice.
By year 4, you cut him if the situation deems it. Boom. Problem solved. Also, by that year, the stalwarts of the line will still be pretty young.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:55 PM
There’s your problem. His bonus money is deferred from this first year of the contract to the back half of it. If you cut him in year 4, you’ve got nearly $10M in cap over 2 years that will be eaten up by a player that doesn’t exist on your roster.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:57 PM
I understand your GM is making these moves to acquire the best FA on the market. I just don’t understand a.) why he wants him when his defense is not the area of the team that struggled last year, b.) why he thinks the best FA on the market is going to come to his team and c.) why the offense, specifically the 2nd WR isn’t more of a pressing matter.
The Jets defense was outstanding last year. It was the offense that cost them the games they ended up losing, specifically the inability to move the ball through the air and the fumbling of their first round draft pick.
July 27th, 2011 at 5:58 PM
So they’re paying later for a good team now. At some point, they’re going to have to pay him. I mean, good players cost money. That’s the gist of it. If that later cap issue results in having a great team now, I’m cool with it.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:02 PM
a.) Why keep teams to 19 points a game when you can keep them to 13.
b.) Because that FA has been heavily reported in expressing interest and communication in doing so. I know you check twitter and other sites just like I do, stop being an ignorant slut.
c.) Because they are a running team first and foremost and they still have a very good number 2 receiver and tight end on the team.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:02 PM
LaDanian Tomlinson had his Brett Favre revival year last season, too. He’s a year older this year. For your sake, and for the future of Hawkeye draft picks, you have to have that Shonn Greene takes a major step forward this year. Stop fumbling the ball. He didn’t at Iowa.
I won’t comment on your quarterback. Pretty sure you already know he needs to make some strides in certain areas. Just like mine does.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:04 PM
pit guys…wtf is up with your area’s insistence on putting a fountain in the middle of every fucking golf course lake?
July 27th, 2011 at 6:04 PM
And, in all honesty, if you look back to the last two season ending losses of the Jets, they were also because the defense couldn’t stop Peyton Manning (corrected the following year) and Mendenhall (TBD). Also, with Nnamdi, Rex Ryan gets his fantasy for just sending 9 guys 45 times a game. And you know Rex loves his fantasies.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:05 PM
Because it could cripple your cap. Especially if one of them gets hurt (a risk everyone takes, I know). But Revis already got hurt last year once.
Agents showcase their clients to multiple suitors to drive up the price, especially when other suitors can offer significantly more money but don’t have the sense of urgency to do so without someone else possibly signing their target.
Agree. Hope they run the shit out of the ball this year.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:05 PM
Is Kyle Wilson so bad that Jets fans are writing him off after one year…this is not a comparison to Nnamdi…it’s just as though fans talk about the CB position as being vacant.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:06 PM
Is Kyle Wilson so bad that Jets fans are writing him off after one year
Don’t worry, Jets fans, let me handle this one for you. He went to Boise State
July 27th, 2011 at 6:08 PM
Lots of people have problems stopping Peyton. The Colts beat themselves against the Jets in the playoffs, ask Sanders. Special teams cost them that game.
As for Mendenhall, how does an elite cover corner help you stop the running game? Wouldn’t upgrading at defensive tackle and having what Kris Jenkins was supposed to do be a better use of resources?
I’m just sayin’ man. I’m not crapping on the Jets. They’re going to be one of the better teams in the NFL. I just don’t understand the infatuation with Nnamdi. It’s like Tannenbaum is getting his directives from Dan Snyder (go get me the big name!!!!).
July 27th, 2011 at 6:09 PM
You don’t have to coach me on this, guy… not my first rodeo. I really just hope he comes to NY now just so I can be petty and laugh at you about how sure you thoguht you were.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:10 PM
I would MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH rather have the Jets be good than the Patriots. I would also prefer the Jets beat the Patriots by a collective 52-3 score in their two meetings this year.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:11 PM
What was Kris Jenkins? Go check how many games he played in a Jet uniform. I’ll wait.
Getting Nnamdi makes the defense, especially this one, SO much better. It is evil how good they’ll be.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:12 PM
I also believe the Jets DID upgrade their DT position, by taking two of them in the draft this year.
I think one of them may go to jail for a long time, though.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:14 PM
That’s exactly what I’m saying. What Jenkins was supposed to be. He was oft injured and the Jets have lacked a true nose tackle under Rex’s defense. I would think having a top end DT in that 3-4 would make the running game for opposing teams that much harder. Having another corner on the field that is really good… well, you’ve already shown you can take away the pass. Upgrade your weakness, why improve upon what is already your greatest strength? A DT in the middle helps with the passing game too. He busts up the middle and allows the ends to get pressure on the QB as well as your blitzing LBs.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:14 PM
I think one of them may go to jail for a long time, though.
But afterwards we will all feel good about him
July 27th, 2011 at 6:16 PM
One other thing… should the Jets get Nnamdi and I have to eat my words, you still have a problem. You’re humping a hard cap. Let me tell you, from an 82 game season perspective, that it SUCKS. When someone gets hurt (which happens more often in football than hockey) you don’t have the proper resources to replace them and it cripples your ability to add depth.
Again, I’m just trying to add perspective here. I think the Jets are having a solid offseason otherwise. Retaining Holmes was the right play. The money for which it was done will be evaluated much later.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:17 PM
SC: Here’s the problem, how many Noses are out there that would make much of a difference that Pouha and Devito did last year? The Jets have plenty of serviceable d tackles. If Raji or Ngata or any of the premier 3-4 DTs were out there, I’m pretty sure they would be a target, but they’re not, and probably won’t ever be. But Nnamdi is available right now.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:17 PM
having a top end DT in that 3-4 would make the running game for opposing teams that much harder.
Haven’t personnel guys been saying for about the last 20 years that this is the hardest position to fill in the NFL?
July 27th, 2011 at 6:20 PM
Agree Jersey. But just because he’s available right now, doesn’t mean you have to have him. The Jets are REALLY young. Especially at key positions. Their window is wide. Committing those dollars opens that window wider, for about a year. Then, in 2012, that window gets a lot tighter because they can’t add as much next offseason.
I’m giving you think perspective because my hockey team should have had a 5-7 year window of winning Cups. It’s now 2-4 years because we fucked up our cap through botched free agency. It only got fixed this summer because someone took our botched free agency signings off our hands via trade. A lot harder to make those trade in the NFL.

Revis: Big deal recently signed
Sanchez: Absurd contract
Mangold: Big deal recently signed
Brick: Big deal recently signed
Harris: Working on long term deal
Santonio: Big deal recently signed
The real big worry is that one of the draft picks from the last 3 years not named Sanchez needs to not become good enough to warrant retaining for big money in the immediate future. That’s one of them good problems.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:26 PM
Boom. SC closer to being proved right. Me about to do sad dance.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:27 PM
Great guy. Hope he works out for Chicago. I really want to see him do well.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:28 PM
When I said committing those dollars opens the window wider, I meant Nnamdi. Signing your homegrown guys is good. All 6 of those, even Sanchez, are good contracts.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:28 PM
I don’t think he signs with the Niners though, the Yorks are not ones to open the checkbook wisely.
