Drove in only 59 runs. Meaningless solo shots anybody?
You hit 22 homers, you usually see at least 75 + RBI's.
Harper hit .270 last year. Yawn.
I don't want to get long winded here, Harpers 2013 numbers so far are pretty much equal to 2012.
Right now he's hitting .269, with 13 homers and 29 RBI's.
I see a pattern developing here, until proven otherwise, Harper is what he is, a .270 hitter, that hits 22 homers, that drives in barely 60, above average outfielder with stolen base speed.
Good, but not great OBA, yadda, yadda, yadda.
What I don't understand is how clown shoe bro Harper gets to the outfield with ESPN hugging his rooster and holding on to his jock.
I'll say it for the 1000th time, name one thing Harper does, that Trout doesn't do so much better?
