Top 10 reasons why the Nationals are sending Bryce Harper to AAA

10) Just because he might be the best player in their everyday lineup doesn't make him old enough to buy beer

9) Team can't keep the fan base down with him out there on Opening Day

8) If you start his "clock" too soon, he becomes a Yankee before the full extent of his powers are shown

7) Have hate in their heart for fantasy baseball reachers who just have to have the shiniest new toy

6) Want him a little older and thicker before the inevitable beanballs come his way

5) Feel that the good people of Syracuse just haven't had enough exposure to cocksure athletic prodigies

4) Need him to get playing time in center field, so he can live up to the high defensive standards of Nyjer Morgan, Roger Bernadina, Rick Ankiel and Jayson Werth

3) If he was in the lineup, too many disgusting newbies would buy Harper jerseys

2) Feel that the team is already going to win more than enough games

1) Believe that if he just gets a bit more seasoning, someone might start to take notice of his talents and write some hyperbole about him
