Compare Harper to two guys on the Brewers, for example (stats as of may 28th)
Bryce Harper: .287 AVG, 29 runs, 7 doubles, 1 triple, 12 HR, 23 RBI, 2 SB, 2 CS. .386 OBP/.587 SLG/.973 OPS
Carlos Gomez: .331 AVG, 28 runs, 13 doubles, 3 triples, 10 HR, 25 RBI, 9 SB, 2 CS. .376 OBP/.611 SLG/.987 OPS
Jean Segura: .365 AVG, 30 runs, 6 doubles, 5 triples, 8 HR, 22 RBI, 14 SB, 1 CS. .400 OBP/.569 SLG/.969 OPS
Bryce has incredible upside, but he's not at any point been the best player in the NL this season, in my humble opinion.
