His true self came out in the upper levels and the big leagues.

I just wanted to talk about small sample sizes and that was a nice jumping off point.

If the plate discipline holds up after that, then it can be a trend and a trait. As you said, though, Topps's ascribing Harrison with this trait based on 33 games in 2008 is slightly overboard.Tony L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01349226671097456632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504646615318477533.post-44333748754887430972016-12-12T23:34:08.102-05:002016-12-12T23:34:08.102-05:00Good catch.
