I would like to discuss Bryce Harper

[SU Nittany Tide]

"Most over hyped ever"...is that the end of your list, because you'll need 500-600 more to prove that point

Were there 500 to 600 players hyped as much as Harper?

 

[Ojb81]

Bruce Hoipert? Yeah he ok

 

[PolarVortex]

He'll return to Washington next year. 7 years/$189 million.

Is that 189 his signing bonus?

I think @PolarVortex is predicting that Harper will lose a limb in an unexpected ATV accident this summer.

Good chance a wall Fucks him up at some point in the next six months.


A one eyed, one armed Harper would still get 200 mil from the Padres.

The Mets, anyway.

 

[broncosmitty]

The Mets, anyway.

If Harper plays for the Mets it's because he buys them.



Which I would like to see.

As we approach the winter of "500 million for Bryce Harper"


So I have the #4 pick in my big money draft, so I started to look at Goldy/Arenado/Betts/Harper


Correct me if im wrong here


Has Bryce Harper lived up to the hype a grand total of ONE season his entire career, and been otherwise nothing more than "pretty good" ?

Im starting to think this is the most overhyped player (so far) ever

Nobody has ever been as overhyped as DereKKKK Jeter

Ever

i agree

We probably have the same inside source in DC

 

[navamind]

.308/.487/.788, 222 wRC+, 8 HR, 21 walks (27.6% walk rate), 1 WAR in 17 games

Bonds-esque. And that's with a .222 BABIP.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Harper is one of those guys I wish I could figure out an app to switch to nats games only when he’s at the plate.

 

[navamind]

.267/.453/.629, 180 wRC+

and that's with a BABIP of .213.

Man, the MLB is blessed with talent right now like it hasn't been in some time. MLB needs to figure out how to market these guys worth a damn.

seriously, they do such a terrible job putting players out there

They really need to streamline a way you can just watch hitters you like.

Trout
Harper
Bryant

etc

Kind of like a redzone channel of sorts.

Agreed. Closest thing you'll get to that right is probably this, but it doesn't have an option to switch to feeds for certain players.

Seriously, if I were MLB I would double and triple-down on trying to get these hitters as much screen time as possible. The easiest way to do that is to cut out the wait altogether and just have a rotation of 5-10 players you can watch all day if you want. No need to focus so much on 1 fan watching 1 whole game.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

For example- I have almost noooooo interest in watching the Reds. I DO want to see Joey Votto hit.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

List of guys I would be happy if I can just watch these players all day as far as watchability goes

1. Mookie Betts
2. Mike Trout
3. Joey Votto
4. Francisco Lindor
5. Daniel Murphy
6. Bryce Harper
7. Giancarlo Stanton
8. Jose Altuve
9. Kris Bryant
10. Mike Moustakas
