With the first overall pick in this year's MLB Draft, the Nationals didn't blink when they selected Bryce Harper. Harper, who was announced by commissioner Bud Selig as a outfielder and not a catcher, was the consensus top pick. "It was," general manager Mike Rizzo said, "a pretty easy decision." The Nationals became the first team to draft first overall in consecutive years. They drafted pitcher Stephen Strasburg in 2009.
