gramps clinging to bobo-Big Hurt becoming some semblance of legit

what a fiasco
- Crimsoninja

You mean the guy in the HoF? One of the greatest RH hitters in baseball history? Sooo bobo.

Plus, you know, the Sox never made an offer to harper. not hispanic enough. you can't sing la vita loca you can't play for the sox.

vlad jr will be better as soon as this year

*puts homer glasses away*

eloy is gonna change the game. he is gonna rake all the balls.

not sure if he can catch one but hey, neither can harper.

harper can catch 'em as long as they aren't too close to the wall. all bets are off if they are.

that's a lotta coin for a whopping 1.3 WAR.
- Gramps28

That's what I mean. Like, he was pretty good last year, but aside from his one MONSTER season, he's just... good?

his negative dWar says otherwise. crikeys. phillies are paying 25M a year for a guy who has reached 100 RBIs once in his career. crims is gonna love those solo shots.

at worst harper is just "good", at his best he approaches trout territory offensively.

- BINGO!

exactly. glad the sox didn't sign him truthfully. they have had no luck bringing LH hitters over from the NL.

machado would have been nice but whateves. too many young guys to be exposed to his lazy ass ways.

if pillar isn't topping the sharts in dwar i declare the stat irrelevant

not even close really. no one is close to trout aside from some guys with bust in the HoF. And even then he is in the top3-5 in most categories.

harper is basically robin ventura with more hype.

pretty high standard to reach thomas, though. harper is anthony rizzo but less italian and likeable.

cant wait for him to miss 50 games a year in Philadelphia

Lol

harper's 2015 compares very well to trout's best years. the difference is trout does it every year and harper certainly doesn't.

trout's WAR is silly. he averages about 8 WAR. 8.

first post made me chuckle:

Bryce Harper will wear No. 3 for the #Phillies, as @matt_breen first reported. Team has been talking about retiring Roy Halladay’s No. 34 or at least keeping it iced. Halladay will be inducted into the @baseballhall in July.

(frank) that, hallagay was a doper who killed himself like john denver
