HS Baseball Phenom leaves after Sophomore year... Thoughts

[mj79]

His name is Bryce Harper and is thought to many as being the next great baseball prospect. He's a catcher from NV and is getting similar HS hype in baseball as Lebron did in basketball. He was an Aflac All-American as a freshman in high school. He hit .590 11HR 67RBI in only 38 games for Las Vegas HS as a freshman.

He's been rumored of hitting 550+ ft homeruns, throwing a 95mph+ fastball(even though he's a catcher), and is only 16yrs old. He has chosen to leave HS after his sophomore year, get his GED, and go to a community college to try to be drafted in 2010. There are already talks of him being the #1 overall pick in 2010 just because of his raw talent. Just wanted to see everyone's thoughts on what he's doing and your opinion of him.

Why I mostly support Bryce Harper's decision to skip high school
