Will Bryce Harper hit 60?

[daneblazer]

Just hit his 18th homer. He & Nelson Cruz tied for the league lead after 47 games. Will they hit 60?

[sourtwist]

They won't pitch to him enough for that to happen.

[jjgold]

No

Cruz will win the homerun title again as he is more of a natural hitter

[d2bets]

Not a chance in hell. He won't hit 50 either.

[pavyracer]

My model has him at 34.

[jjgold]

My model has him at 34.

The Greek always looking for an edge

[Big Bear]

if he stays healthy its possible


question....

do you think Bryce Harper tries to hit HR's or does he just try to hit the ball hard?

[StatsKing]

aaaaand just when i thought sbr was turning a corner in terms of collective intelligence, a thread like this pops up.... ill offer +500 betpoints to anyone who wants harper HR u 34.5 OR o 59.5 ... u can even stiff me if u want, idgaf. anyone who is willing to take either or those bets is a moron, plain and simple, and if u want to take a shot, by all means go ahead. it just means that ill have filed you in my mental folder as an ignoramus and labeled you as "fade material"

[texhooper]

remember when people were calling him a piece of shit?

hey those of us who have been here know how collectively stupid sbr is. don't come in here and act like you know shit since january of this year

[Kermit]

Will he compete in the derby this year?

Can't wait to see what kind of douchebag hairstyle he shows up with. Don't hate the kid, but I've seen enough of him to know he's a doucher.

[StatsKing]

*min 500 ABs

[Kermit]

I say he hits 45. He'll be out for a few weeks with another injury at some point.

im not trying to toot my own horn here, im just curious as to who who doesnt have a damn clue. knowlege is power

[StatsKing]

and just for the record, Dane, i respect your opinion. This is not a diss towards you. you were just asking a question, not asserting anything...i get it

[El Nino]

No

Cruz will win the homerun title again as he is more of a natural hitter

That's quite a middle you got there, genius. What kind of odds are you offering?

[daneblazer]

Ya...Will Bryce Harper hit 60 and Bryce Harper will hit 60 are different things. Just like "Let's eat out, grandma" & "Let's eat out grandma". Comma and placement of verbs are important.

If he stays healthy, I think it's possible. A long shot, but possible. He'll probably start getting walked more though. People forget this guy is younger than Kris Bryant. And yes, he does seem like a big doucher.

[jjgold]

Bryant has way more upside though

A better overall hitter..I want Bryant up in 9th inning not Harper

[stealthyburrito]

Just like "Let's eat out, grandma" & "Let's eat out grandma". Comma and placement of verbs are important.

well played

[STAX]

I think both will be close to 50 but 60 is out of the question imo

And people forget he's in his 4th season. Age less important than MLB experience. Harper was just decidedly OK his first 3 seasons. Good, not great. He's off to a torrid start in his 4th campaign, but let's wait and see.

again it should be repeated that Harper is a child baseball genius.... we can't even fathom his upside, he was playing pro ball at 17

Harper is 10 months younger than Bryant.

Harper is 22
Bryant is 23

Harper has 73 career MLB Home runs
Bryant only has 38 career hits

[jjgold]

He just swings for HR's every pitch

How is Wash doing this year?

Apples and oranges. Harper is off to a torrid start, but he was pretty ordinary his first 3 seasons. We'll see. Age is just a number -- Harper has been in the league 4 seasons so he would be expected to be ahead in his learning curve.

Real generous offer . And as you say "knowledge is power", so here's a little. As a non pro you are limited to sending 2 pts a day, so I doubt anybody wants to wait 8+ months to get paid.

[jjgold]

If Strauser was any good they would win Div by 15 games

[seaborneq]

Neither Cruz nor Harper will lead their respective leagues in homers. Just hot starts for both.

[stealthyburrito]

If Strauser was any good they would win Div by 15 games

They will win div by double digits despite him.

Don't need him.

[d2bets]

Don't need him.

Now that's just crazy talk.

[Rival]

living in DC I go to as many games as possible. Finally starting to prove the people who were doubting him these past seasons wrong

[klemopixx]

Teams will start pitching around him soon. That combined with the dog days of August will cut down his total but I think he has a shot at 50.

[Chi_archie]

I think Bryce gets 44-48 HR this year

[DrunkHorseplayer]

He'll hit 47 and Cruz will hit 51.
