Alex Rodriguez has been exactly where Bryce Harper is: a 19-year-old playing in the Major Leagues. "I love big talent. I am a baseball fan," Rodriguez said. "To be 19 years old and doing what he is doing ..." The Yankees and Nationals will face off this weekend. Rodriguez said he is so impressed with Harper that he "would pay money to see him." Harper has played in 40 big league games and is hitting .307 with seven homers and 19 RBIs. Rodriguez said he won't approach Harper at the batting cage Friday night, but he would be receptive if Harper wants to chat. "I am very supportive of young players, not just on our team," Rodriguez said. "They call or text, and I am always available."
