I wish Bryce Harper the best of luck but...

[TheCentaur]

well he is hitting .375 and surely he'll hit a rough patch but the kid has clearly shown he can hit big league pitching

what's funny is how many morons in here can pass judgement without actually watching someone play

take for instance the op who posted a video of spring training when he was slumping because of mechanics which have been repaired for over a month

I posted this thread after watching him in his MLB debut. I didn't like some things in his swing but there were no recent videos out there so I found one from spring training that showed what I felt could be some balance and timing issues I noticed in his debut.

He's getting it done though, I have no problem being wrong and nothing against him

HGH. He's got that Longoria cro-magnon head.

whats your point? kirk nieuwenhuis is hitting .310 as a rookie in 24 games. he's proved he can hit big league pitching, yet he isn't being called "the chosen one"

Not exactly what I'd call a sample size worthy of mentioning.

Really becoming a fan of this kid. Shows off sometimes but in a good way that's trying to get something going.

[zoo youk]

stole home last night on a pick off attempt after Hamels hit him intentionally. balls.

[Dutchie]

first major league steal, a steal of home. that is pretty cool

[Swipe317]

Harper is the truth. 5 doubles already...

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Harper's bat speed is too good for him to not reach all-star level. The real question is more whether he'll be a hall of fame type player.

[Sam Odom]

barring injury a many time All Star

[hydrosmak]

barring injury a many time All Star

Staving off injuries is going to be big though... The way this guy plays with reckless abandon it isn't going to be easy. Anyone see him in the Dodgers series run like a mad man into the wall to make a catch? Reminds me of Grady Sizemore in the way he plays although he has more raw talent. Sizemore is breaking down big time though...

[Sam Odom]

injuries are part bad luck & being out of shape... pete rose was lucky

[blackbeSSt]

0-5 and has a hissy fit in the dugout

"the chosen one" my ass

[TheCentaur]

Kid is struggling right now

[jjgold]

Hard to say how he will be

His swing is long which could spell trouble

Time will tell

[Dutchie]

its a long season and a long career. kid is 19, c'mon most kids his Age are still in college, or if they did sign out of high school they are in extended spring training waiting for short season A ball to start

[The Kraken]

Who finishes withmpre HR's this season... Pujols or Harper? I say Harper
