I wonder how much media coverage is up since 2007?
He’s not gone and he’s a critical part. My point is that getting Harper at a short term high AAV is more important than hoping everything works...
I would have loved to have seen them play.
Either player could be our DH-util.
How about a negro league lineup? Did they ever have a superstar team?
Are you really that old??
It’s not a pressing matter. However, if the question is whether to invest in a healthy Bryce Harper while our championship window is wide open, or...
You can play Reddick or Tucker in RF. Harper’s value to us now still outweighs the maybe that we can resign Springer or Correa later. Harper...
Stick him at DH, and no it won’t matter.
If we are talking about sheer potential, all 3 are near equals. What they have done at the plate, potential aside, is a win for Bryce.

Harper>Correa or Springer.
Altuve-style extensions are fairly team-friendly. Honestly, if Luhnow can continue to maximize the FARM system, we will continue to develop...
If we want to get into the world of crazy contract #s, there need to be clauses that contain opt-outs when players fail to perform, sustain...
It's not the talent they aren't interested in acquiring--it's the media driven price tag of 10 years and 300-400 million. It's a ridiculous...
Contracts on offense if we sign Harper and trade for J.T.: CF Springer 2021 3B Bregman 2023 2B Altuve 2025 RF Harper ? SS Correa 2022 LF Brantley...
We need to lock up Bregman at some point. I doubt we extend Springer or Correa. The key will be what we do to replace them when the time comes....
I'd take Harper over Springer or Correa. I also would not pass on Harper in the hopes of something that might not happen.
As the days pass, it's more and more clear that teams aren't honoring 10 years contracts anymore. At this point, I think it's highly unlikely that...
Haters gonna hate? :)
