If Bryce Harper seems intimidating in the batter's box, it's nothing compared to his presence in front of a microphone with talk of a gargantuan financial windfall in the air. As recent events show, he can get downright obstructionist on the topic.
Harper arrived at Washington Nationals' camp in February amid a slew of questions about his future. He immediately put the clamps on public discourse, warning reporters that he would be "walking right out the door'' if anyone broached the subject of his upcoming free agency. He told reporters to call his agent, Scott Boras, if they had any questions.
