it really is and i stand by my point that relief pitchers can be night and day year to year. kimbrel is on his last days. why can't neris find that magic again? not even the closer, plenty of good arms ahead of him, don't get CK as a signing.
because we'd like Harper better? Paps was a piece of shit/
said the disney princess. the philly fans handled fultz with too much of the kid gloves where it got embarrassing that they were cheering him just taking a jump shot. also, do enjoy him down there, i still think he has the talent to be a player.
It is BS on their part. They knew going in that the Nats offered him $ 300M and Harper turned it down. That meant they would have to go north of that number to secure his services. It is just spin for when he signs elsewhere.
Being his hometown, the Phils have at least an outside shot to snag Trout away from Anaheim. I'd rather hold out hope for him than invest in Harper. I don't know if Trout makes players around him better either, but you can't question Trout's heart nor his on-field professionalism. And there is little doubt now that he is far better than Harper.
Another reason the Phils need to sign Harper.
In the past, the Mets’ Wright was usually getting a big hit to beat the punchless Phils in the late innings. More recently, it’s been that c0ck sucker, Comforto.
Shit in one hand, hope in the other. They'd have to wait at least one more full season, and possibly two, depending on what the Angels do
I'm kind of surprised that state income tax doesn't play a bigger part into this.
If they do sign harper, look to see if those first two years or so are around 50 million, which would mean the last 8 would be 25 or so.
