'Bad' Harper is presently on pace for 100 runs, 120 RBI, 30 HRs, a .370 OBP, an .860 OPS and 5.4 WAR.
That's the BAD version of him. That's a version that's 80% comprised of one of the 3 worst stretches of his entire career and arguably his worst.
If you think a dude that averaged about 125Ks over a full season for the first 6 seasons of his career suddenly turned into a 225 K 'true talent' player, then yeah - this is what you'll get from him. If you think that his contact rates will eventually even out to the back of his baseball card and he'll combine those with hard hit numbers that rival his career best...well like I said, look out baseball.
Harper's the 3 hole hitter for a first place team on one of the most productive offenses in the league and I'm supposed to pretend like he's !@#$ing Jorge Soler. Riiiiiiigh.
