Is Bryce Harper really worth the grief and money?

If they have a shot at the wild card they are almost guarenteed to come up 1 game short due to a loss to the phillies who never have a shot in hell of winning.

I can understand the negativity, they've earned it. But if thats the attitude, why bother trying to win at all?

I like what the Mets have done so far and I like Brodies brashness, I hope it rubs off on the players.

You have to try and win. They are not doing that though.

Stop trying to make a 590 club. Enough half assing it. Add more hitting and be a contender. You can not have one guy and survive a hitting drought on pitching. A 500 something club (if they are lucky) that wins the division isn’t taking down the world series.

When you win don’t trade your players away. If you can’t do that save your money until you can.

I used to have to say that about my Astros.

Do you see Correa returning to the form where he was an up and coming elite player?

I think he'll be fine, but I don't expect he's going to stand out as the best player in that infield.

No, just add the two years together.
Should be well over a 100.
170 or so.

Nope.

No. Very good hitter at times. Average fielder. Lazy runner. Ego of epic proportions. At some point he's going to slump bad and Philly fans are gonna eat him alive. Calling it now that by 2025 he is no longer on the Phillies roster one way or another.

Harper? All I can say is that Philly fans are notoriously tough and when that collides with that large pile of ego it’s gonna get real interesting at some point.
