Bob and Russ discuss the lasting effect of signing Bryce Harper and how much of a draw it will be for casual fans. They break down the pressure Harper’s signing can take off Maikel Franco, Odubel Herrera, and Scott Kingery, project the lineup, the rotation, and discuss bullpen issues. The guys also look to the free agent market for possible reinforcements.
