Bryce Harper...

[Surfah]

I need to check the numbers but my perception is that after slumping following the All Star break that he has had a very good September. He seems to just get better and his power is very impressive.

Since mid-August he's hitting over .300 with 9 HRs. He's been producing when it matters most.

I also heard another interesting stat regarding his power. He's leading the NL in average HR distance with 414'.

Bryce Harper will hit 50 home runs in a season within the next 5 years. His batting average will exceed .300 next year. Barring serious injury, he and Mike Trout will be in the discussion for NL and AL MVP's for the next 15 years.

Two words: Coors Field

It is a great stadium. Glad to see another fan.

Rosario has a higher OPS on the road than Harper and the same number of home runs in 100 less at bats. The time to jump on the Wilin bandwagon is now!

I know, I'm just saying a 23 is young for a catcher to be putting up the numbers Rosario is. He is 5th in baseball in AB per HR, it looks like there has only been one catcher in the last 18 years who has finished in the top 5. I'm not saying I would take him over Harper long term, blah blah blah blah blah...

Harpers 19 (unless he recently turned 20).

I'm not saying I would take him over Harper long term, that would be silly. I'm just saying he is putting up some great numbers, better than Bryce pretty much across the board, and deserves some props for doing so.

[Non Sequitur]

I don't follow the NL as much as I do the AL, but it seems to me that Harper is making a good case for NL Rookie of the Year. He's at least proven the detractors wrong that said Washington panicked by calling him up too early.

Bryce Harper is definitely my favorite .260 hitter in the NL.

[falafel]

He does play the most difficult position in baseball. A 23 year old catcher is about the same developmentally as a 21 year old outfielder. If Harper had stayed behind the plate played for the Rockies he'd get more respect from me.

Approved, with edits.

What Bryce has done is more impressive given his age and team he plays for. Rosario has had 6 seasons in the minors.

[Topper]

For his age there are few he compares to.

He was fabulous as a high school player but that doesn't mean much. His bat speed seems extraordinary.

[Surfah]

Wilin Rosario should get the nod ahead of Harper. Better numbers across the board and in 140 less at bats. The future of Rockies baseball is looking bright!

You know baseball, Paddy. How does he stack up in batting and in fielding skills for a player as young as he is?
