If one believes in "projections" Harper will reach over 200 strikeouts this season. That in conjunction with other low performance stats won't hold up in Philadelphia where they'd allegedly boo a cure for cancer. Ego excepted nothing else about Harper was that bi anyhow. Just thank the Baseball gods that the Yankees GM for reasons we'd seem as wise neither Machado nor Harper were looked at. And as I remember seeing in print and hearing on sports shows the vast majority of Yankees Fans were solid on passing over the "big two" As one sports writer observed checking Harpers stats, Philadelphia could have got Mark Reynolds much cheaper.
.....^^^^ Exactly, I thank the baseball Gods Harper is not in pinstripes. A .200 batting average with 57 strikeouts already. Only 4 intentional base on balls and you know that's not because pitchers fear Him ...
