So Scott Boras wants 12 years, 360 million for Bryce Harper?

Posted by amoxy (aka amoxy) Aug 28 '13, 10:21

He isn't even hitting .280 this year!

Responses:

He's a 20yr old kid with an OPS of .889. You can hit .279 at 20 when you're OBP is .377 and your slugging is .512. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 28, 10:27 2
- I think $30mil per is ridiculous. But, I don't think it can be compared to Albert or Hamilton. - Jim Aug 28, 10:30 1
  - Right --- if this was to Mike Trout at this moment in time, Arte Moreno should *jump* at it. - Will Hunting Aug 28, 10:31
that would be awesome, I hope the Nationals pay it. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 28, 10:25
I would imagine the Natinals' response will be something like "ARod." -- nm - David Aug 28, 10:22 10
- or just 'Hahahahahahahahahaha' -- nm - decline Aug 28, 10:27
- Or Pujols or Josh Hamilton -- nm - amoxy Aug 28, 10:23 8
  - One huge difference between all 3 of those guys....he's 20...their albatrosses were signed at 30+ -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 28, 10:28 7
    - Which means they don't have to worry about his contract for 3 more years. -- nm - David Aug 28, 10:50 2
      - At that point though, if he's turns into the superstar....you're going to be up against everyone else, and likely paying past 32yrs old. - Will Hunting Aug 28, 10:55 1
        
        "If"? I am not paying that amount of money for somebody who might be a superstar -- nm - amoxy Aug 28, 11:00
    - I would like to see him have a monster season before he would be considered for a large contract - amoxy Aug 28, 10:31 3
      - For guys who are 19/20 years old...he's having an historically great start to his career. - Will Hunting Aug 28, 10:32 2
        
        In terms of his peers, he's second or third in 19/20/21 year old players. - Inigo Aug 28, 10:43 1
        
        By some metrics, he sorta is..... - Will Hunting Aug 28, 10:53
