Harper is a Giant or Dodger

[PolarVortex]

Lock it up. This dude wants the west coast. He used Philly to intimidate the Dodgers and Giants.

Fun side note: next time Harper's team (Giants or Dodgers) play in Philadelphia, fans booing of Harper might be one for the record books.

He was a different specimen.

 

[PolarVortex]

He was a different specimen.

Yeah he was. The only one remotely close to him in today's game is Trout. Probably would have hit 900 homeruns if he had played at Coors.

there's a neutralized batting/pitching tool on every player page, you can adjust it to any environment (2000 Coors Field, 1968 Candlestick, etc.).

nailed it

LOL. I'll believe it when it is official. $25.4 million a year is kind of hard to believe after Machado got $30 million. Hard to believe Boras would settle for this.

i think they were just looking at the top number ($330 mill) and wanted to make sure it was more than anyone had ever gotten in one contract

I guess so, doesn't make sense to me and those extra 3 late years had something to do with it when he is most likely washed up.
