    Should Phillies be worried about Bryce Harper?





    Bryce Harper, the Phillies’ $330 million man, has hit the skids in a big way.

    I would presume you're talking about his hitting. He contributes significantly in fielding also. I'm blown away that all the media outlets talk solely about hitting.

    Because this is the big leagues

    There are thousands and thousands of people in the world that are capable of playing outfield at the big league level

    Triple A is full of them

    Hitting is what you get paid big money for

    disagree, even last year when he did not hit for a high average, his OBP was high and he still hit 30+ homers and had 100 rbi.

    it seems like if he stays healthy, those numbers are close to the floor for his yearly production.

    Atleast Harper plays defense and can run

    Pujols is fat as shit and runs like a turtle

    True I actually think Bryce Harper is a good player

    i am not saying he sucks

    He could get hot and carry the Phillies through October

    i’m saying Pujols is the worst free agent signing of all time

    Douche Harper is all about the phucking hair. He doesnt give 2 shits anymore, getting paid either way and no team is silly enough to make any kind of trade untill atleast 10 yeasrs are up on his ridiculous contract. Douch and his homley old lady popin kids out now, no time for baseball

    not stealing if some jerk off is willing to pay them. Even Philly realize they were competing against themselves in contract negotiations.

    No player is worth that much.

    Maybe an elite pitcher in his prime or an elite closer, maybe
