This is an overreaction thread if I've ever seen one.

No it is not an over reaction thread. I am sticking by it even if he goes 0 for his next 15. Kid hits to contact like Ichiro in his prime and has 40 HR power. If that isn't MVP combo I don't know what is.

Forty homeruns is pushing it. Harper will be a great player no doubt but you're asking him to double his hr total from 22 to 40 ???? Not happening dude ....unless he's on some incredible juice. Thirty homeruns would be a reachable goal and 30 hrs will not win the MVP unless he's hitting like .330 with that.

The kid hasn't even reached his full potential yet. He was only 19 and still hit 22 HR's last year just getting his feet wet! Bottom line he is a natural and gives it 100% every time out there.....only he can derail himself. 38-44 HR's is not out of the realm for him.

What a lame thread
You have all year to say it, then 5 seconds after his 2nd HR of the game you rub one out to him ROFL

Saloon this shit for being such a tool.

You sound like an idiot. I predicted the Knicks would win over 50+ games this year three games into the season and everyone then said I was "overreacting". Well new flash gooey.....they will.

And Bryce Harper is easily a top 3 MVP candidate this season.....book it.

Watch a baseball game and understand what periphals you need to look at to see what a break out player looks like. Clearly most of you can't so you revert to the "over reaction" or "nobody is smarter than me" logic.

Pathetic.

Most guys are the stud of their high school, stud of their college, stud in A ball, stud in AA ball, stud in AAA, then struggle in MLB if they even make it that far.

Harper was a stud of all studs in high school, left HS early to play against college players, he was a stud there at 16, stud in AA ---went straight to MLB and hit .270 with 20+ HR and 20+ steals as an 18 year old.

Let me tell you this, I watched him last year and I watched today's game and nobody swings harder than him. Harper has got to have the fastest bat speed in MLB. He's left handed. He's strong. He has good balance. He's a smart hitter. Last year they kept throwing him curves and it brought his average down - he crushed the 1st curve ball he saw this year over the fence. He has lofty goals. When Harper was drafted he said he wanted to hit .400. He apparently set really lofty goals for this MLB season and I wouldn't bet against him.

He was the 1st pick in the draft a few years ago. He wasn't the defacto #1 pick - He and Strassburg were both like once in a decade #1 picks and they are both living up to the hype.

Finally someone in this thread with some common sense.

Ryan Zimmerman is supposed to be a 30 HR vet right?

Watch the game today and watch Harper on the balls he even fouled off. He has got to have the fastest bat speed in MLB. Zimmerman comes up after him and he's a 30 HR type guy and he looked like crap. Compare their two swings and it's like night and day. His bat speed looked so much slower and he looked weaker. Bryce Harper is pure muscle and he's quick.

The guy skipped AAA and hit .270 as an 18 year old. I don't see this guy having a sophmore slump, I see last years numbers as a floor with him getting better. He should have Ryan Braun or Matt Kemp type numbers.

Remember guys Harper is still a kid and is only showing signs that he will become even better. hes not some hyped up 26 year old with lots of room to regress.

Stupid thread.

We should be talking about the Astros being the best in the AL.

Another idiot...trying ti be funny I guess.

Bryce with home run #8 tonight. On pace for 46-50 HR's this year. Weather isn't even warm yet.
