POLL: UPDATED: Bryce's team in 2019 will be.....

[Trea Burner]

Lol. This gets more embarrassing by the day.

Swallow your pride Harper, you aren’t the one.

[Copecwby20]

Somethin' to do on a snowy cold day.     When's pitchers and catchers?

Feb 12th I think.

The Nats have a $6.5 MM option for Doolittle in 2020, with a $500,000 buyout, so unless his arm falls off, I doubt Sean will be on the market until 2021.

My bad.  Forgot about that 2020 team option.  Regardless, I still prefer Kimbrel over Harper.  I don't know if he's declining.  He bent in the 2018 post season, but didn't break.

[varoadking]

If Harper remains unsigned thru the draft, do we still get a compensation pick between the 3rd and 4th rounds?

Exactly.

The handful of Phillie friends I have, don't even want Bryce.  They see it the same way many of us do - he is not worth that contract and the headache.

They’re kind of dumb then. They would rather roll with Nick Williams and Aaron Altherr in RF?  He would be a big boost to their lineup. And bring some fans and excitement back to the team. The only guys they have that seem to be locks to be top players are Nola and Hoskins. Moniak seems to be a dud as most of their first round picks have been in recent years. Having Harper will make it easier for them to attract free agents in future years. They need him much more than the Nats.

I bet these same guys told you Joel Embiid would never play and Doug Peterson was a terrible hire.

What's Peterson ever won?  Oh, . . .

The Phillies are in a different position than the Nats re: the need for Harper.  We have Robles, Soto, and Eaton.  they have more of an improvement if they sign him than the Nats would.

This is a bit afield, but I wouldn't stick a fork in Moniak yet.  His numbers got significantly better while moving up a level last year.   They're not what you'd hope for from a #1 overall, but those numbers in high A from a 20-year-old certainly don't portend complete doom.   And with Haseley now ahead of him on the ladder, that might take some pressure off.

Thanks for the update. He improved as the season went on I believe. Doesn’t look like he will ever hit for power though. Let me tell ya about Cornelius Randolph. Or Larry Greene. Haseley seems like he will be a decent hitter. Bohm also.

Perfect landing spot for him...hope this happens...

Not a bad fit. They have lots of OF prospect depth that could net them Kluber and/or Realmuto. We all know Preller is nuts, so there is serious plausibility to this.

Game of the week to rotate between Yanks, Red Sox and Padres. And the Cubs!

Harper will fade into irrelevancy in San Diego. Good luck, man. Teams are bargain shipping now.

If Bryce is ultimately meant for 1B then San Diego doesn’t make sense, given the just spent a mint on Eric Hosmer.

Nice place to live while fading though

This entire exercise has apparently come down to Boras attempting to salvage his credibility...

Whatever it takes. Not a hitters park either.

Worse ways to live than playing no pressure baseball in San Diego for $30 mill a year
