His wOBA (.382) is second on the team, behind LaRoche (.390).

 What's interesting is that Harper is listed as having a -5.0 "baserunning" value so far, which I can't seem to understand as he has taken a ton of extra bases and stretched some singles into doubles. Can someone who is more stat-savvy (JCA?) explain that? I know the baserunning stuff is pretty new, but it seems out of whack with my mindfacting.

I'm hoping the negative for that stat is actually a good thing. But I have zero, less than zero actually, knowledge on what the hell a baserunning value is.

Seems to me, bottom line, in as few games as Harper has played, that steal of home plate on Sunday Night Baseball should give Harper an infinite baserunning value right now.
