Harper Reported Will Sign With Phils $400 Mill

[jvett77]

They lied to us again.

The real reason the Phillies will not get Harper. As I posted in an earlier post. He does not want to play for Kapler.
Recent news has suggested that he does not like Kaplers quirky style. Amongst other Kapler factors. Probably why
Middleton took the recent trip on his own.

If Kapler was managing the Dodgers, it wouldn't matter. IMO.

The Dodgers would not hire Kapler. He is a Phillies creation.

He came from the Dodgers and was runner up for their manager position....

So they were smart enough to let him go to the phillies!

If you say so. They almost hired him to the manager position and still had an important position with them then he took a promotion to another team.

I'm not sold on the guy but don't pretend like other teams, especially the Dodgers, wouldn't have considered him.

Kapler was a front office type with the Dodgers. Managed one year in the low minors. His team came in last place.
However, I will give him credit for being a hard working man. I do respect that!

Giants meeting with Boras and Harper in Vegas today. Probably upping their offer to compete with the Phillies.
In the mean time no one knows anything for certain!

Interesting projected lineup with Harper shown on CSN Sports a few nights ago. Move Franco up. Tweak away! Guaranteed 799 runs!

2B Cesar Hernandez
SS Jean Segura
RF Bryce Harper
1B Rhys Hoskins
C J.T. Realmuto
LF Andrew McCutchen
3B Maikel Franco
CF Odubel Herrera

Harper has had a negative WAA two out of the last three years.
2015 was a while ago, ya know?

Rumor. 13 other teams have decided to lust for Harper. Will require two months to completely explore options.

Hope he signs there

WAA. Explaino.

Wins Above Average (I used BBRef).
Same basic calculation as WAR=Wins Above Replacement with the baseline of an average MLer instead of a replacement player (production level that has little marginal value as it can gemerally be replaced easily from the minors).

The latest gossip. Harper wants 350 million over 10 years with a 3 year opt out. Tough decision for the Phillies to make.

Nope. Let this wussie go play in the wussie west.

 

[Indrid Cold]

Is anybody actually offering Harper a high value, long term deal other than the Phils?
They should remember the Rangers bidding against themselves for ARod...and then being desperate to trade him even though he was extremely productive.

 

[eaglesnut]

Should have signed Machado.

Dude can hit .300.

None of this helps his WAR!

Report. Giants now offering a 10 year contract at 300 million or more. Goodbye Harper!

That park will expose Bryce as not having the power of a roided up Bonds.


But, Harper is a fag, so he will fit in perfectly.
