It makes total sense that Harper has made his choice and that no one suspects the Astros are his choice. All the arrangements were made back in November. Everything that's happened with Harper/Boras since then has just been a side show. But now spring training is about to start and he's ready to play. He's done enough at this point to promote the player's union cause.

Here is my weekly Harper isn't signing with the 'stros. We're winning a title without him.

How dare you
Don't you know how this crap works? We're not getting Harper, and we're not winning a championship.

Yes we are. ROY/MVP Tucker are taking it back.
Flagged
Embrace the TED
Tucker will be so good that we'll have to bump Harper, Bregman, Correa and Brantley down in the order so he can hit 3rd.
Harper to the Giants would be the perfect capstone to this snoozefest of an off-season.
Pfffffft
Pfffffft
Why do think Harper won't sign here? We offered 12 year 330 M and he said no. He didn't want to be the highest played bench/DH of all time when he couldn't see time in left.
guess all you *******s didn't learn your lesson with this last year.Farmer1906 said:

Read deeply between the lines. Think outside the box. Think algorithmically. Tap into your truest self. Find the pieces of the puzzle, then assemble them. All the answers are there if you follow the clues.
Deeper than Qanon and Rojo
Lindor over Altuve?
Arenado at 3
Holy **** that's bad
Holy **** that's bad
get Lindor and Ramirez out of the top 10. They have been proven to be AL Central rockstars. Awesome vs. the WhiteSox, Tigers, and Royals. Very average to below average when it matters the most vs. the big boys

You think he should be lower?

Maybe last season, but he has a track record of being a top 5 player

Meh. Not really.
Lindor has a .820 playoff OPS (1.023 vs the Astros) which is slightly below his .837 career OPS.
Your closer on Ramirez as he struggled in the playoffs.
But Ramirez's career OPS vs. the Astros is .831 which is nearly 80 points higher than his OPS against the Royals. He has an OPS above 1.000 vs each of the Dodgers, Cubs, and Yankees.

Maybe he shouldn't have a career OPS+ of 121, which is worse considerably than every hitter in that list
He has a career OPs on the road below .800
He is an elite defender though, but hits like Yuli
Wow 3 possibly 4 (Harper) in the top 20. Bregman going to be a stud for a long long time.
Are you high? He's a 40 homer 130 rbi guy. Just stop while you're way behind.astros4545 said:HossAg said:astros4545 said:

Seriously. This dude's throwing up all these weird stats when Arenado is hitting 30+ homers and getting a **** ton of RBIs.

Harper gonna go to the Phillies today?
It seemed like Boras (aka Jon Heyman) was stirring this up on Twitter last night. Trying to play the last minute hype/leverage game. I'm wondering how much longer Harper wants to drag this out. He's done his part for Boras and the union and can sign a huge deal whenever he pleases.Nuke LaLoosh said:

I'm curious where you think he should be ranked then?

OPS & OPS+ aren't weird stats.
He's a slightly above average hitter away from Coors.

It's definitely prudent to look at home/road splits, but completely ignoring his home numbers because he plays at Coor's Field isn't fair. Lots of guys play better at home than on the road, even if home is at sea level and had an outfield smaller than the average moon.
Remember that OPS+ and wRC+ are already park-adjusted.
