I would like to discuss Bryce Harper

[Rock Strongo]

Pham?

Do you have any other options?

pham got his eyes fixed.

hes legit.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

So 42HR/99RBI/.330avg (in 153 games) is better than 44HR/137RBI/.348avg (in 148 games)?

For some reason, I've never liked Bryce Harper.

Exactly, it all depends on what numbers you rely on, and the ones you tend to ignore........

 

[UK Cowboy]

per 162

.285/..386/.515 = .902 OPS

166 hits

32/89 on avg

140 k's to 96 walks

List the guys with better numbers through age 24. MLB numbers, not college or minors. Waiting....

ken griffery JR with a .920 OPS ages 19-24

3 cons 100+ RBI years, 2 40+ HR seaons

thats one

Pretty good company either way.

 

[Rock Strongo]

miggy ages 20-25 had a .926 OPS

5 cons 100+ RBI years

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

 

[Rock Strongo]

fred lynn had a .914 OPS thru age 24 (smaller sample size of course)

 

[The Q]

I really love him, and he is a last rounder for me, which is very important

Other consideration could be Schoop/Travis Shaw with pretty late picks, but thats about it

ah, ok.

Keep pham.

I just don't tend to trust guys who do that so late in the game. He's already 30. And he wasn't good before last year.

 

[Voltaire26]

miggy ages 20-25 had a .926 OPS

5 cons 100+ RBI years

I'm hoping for a BIG bounce back season from Miggy!!!

 

[Rock Strongo]

Arod had a .943 OPS by 24

4 100+ RBI seasons

3 cons years of 40+ HR

 

[Rock Strongo]

I'm hoping for a BIG bounce back season from Miggy!!!

hes going to hit .300, 30+ HR, 100+ RBI

hes back

his back doesnt feel like hes being stabbed anymore.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

ah, ok.

Keep pham.

Good point, I never even knew he was 30

Yeah, it's really about the value and my other options

Fred Lynn was the smoothest player out there. An outfield of Rice/Lynn/Evans was amazing ...

Yeah, he just turned 30 yesterday.

pham was nearly blind until 28 or so when he underwent a radical eye surgery.

he started seeing baseballs at 29.

 

[Rock Strongo]

Fred Lynn was the smoothest player out there. An outfield of Rice/Lynn/Evans was amazing ...

had he stayed in boston he'd be in the HOF.

Yes, some people just belong ... people should recognized that ... Trammel and Whitaker were together for an amazing 19 years!!!

Used to love that Tigers team, one of the teams I would simulate when playing stickball

Darrel Evans
Lance Parrish
Whitaker and Trammell
Was it Jeff Leonard? Chet Lemon?
larry Herndon?

man I still remember that team

Them, the Brewers, Astros and Cards

Used to love to use those teams back than
