At This Stage Bryce Harper is Equivalent to Ken Griffey Juniors Early Career Prospect

[Tuc2DaBoot]

Bryce Harper is 19.

Which makes me think he may end up going the Griffey route in injuries... and if pitchers figure him out, he's gonna be shook quicker than most think.

 

[The War Report]

Harper>>>>>Stanton.

 

[HHR]

His contract had little to nothing to do with him being called up this year. Him being really fukking good did though

Griffey got injured because he didnt take care of his body.

The jury is still out on Bryce in that regard, obvs, but his age is not a reason why he could potentially get injured.


And his contract is not why he was called up. Why call him up now when you could next year when he is 20 and get an extra year out of him?

I have no idea what him being 19 has to do with any of this

Harper>>>>>Stanton.

No one likes Brett Lawrie? He deserves a mention ...

 

[HHR]

DO u realize how good Mattingly was when healthy?

Yes. And it's still a really weird comp.

will see if Harper ever has 238 hits in a season

Yes. And it's still a really weird comp.

not if you actually look at the swings which is all i pointed out

 

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

Yes. And it's still a really weird comp.

fair point

 

[We Ready]

The combination of being on the west coast and Bryce Harper are making Trout a forgotten man.

If he battles the same injuries Mattingly did he could

Trout has been hyped up a lot. What are you talking about? No one has forgotten about Trout, he will probably make the All Star team this year.
