ixcuincle Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 You literally could not have a worse post-signing period than Harper. First he got in trouble for saying "Want to bring a title back to DC" Then he is caught trying to influence the FA market by trying to bring Trout to Philly on WIP radio, and then ardently defends it. "Damn right I should be able to recruit him right now" Why? What gives you the right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I'm not holding the contract thing against Bryce at all. 10-300 looks nice but it isn't like the Nats were putting it out there that they wanted to defer 1/3 of it for decades.  Let's assume Bryce is a financially sound guy who wants to make good, solid investments which will help support several generations of his family, and doesn't spend it all on hookers and blow. He's absolutely right, 100 million deferred for 40 years isn't earning anything right now. I'd have taken the extra 130 million up front right now too.  I know this is a long shot, but what if baseball falls out of favor, or the Nats get contracted for some reason, the Lerners go bankrupt or the league folds or something. All pretty remote but a lot can happen in 40 years. He'd be **** out of luck at that point.

You'll be hearing a lot about him over the next 13 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo#44 Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 Love having another lefty, but prior to last year, he was basically pitching BP--2.5 HR/9 and 1.9 HR/9. Last year, he was really good, just 0.2 HR/9.  As a point of reference, Shawn Kelley gave up 1.9 HR/9 last year.  Hopefully, he made an adjustment last year. Per fangraphs, he did throw his slider significantly less. We shall see, hopefully it's not another Joe Blanton situation.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) The contract is only 1.25mil. If he's not cutting it, wont be hard to move on   Edited March 13, 2019 by StillUnknown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Dozier is gonna turn some double plays this year that wouldn't have been in years past. Has some quick hands, gets rid of it fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) I do agree we have to let it go eventually... But seriously, it is like watching your woman leave you for Dylan the stock trader who lives across the street. Now you have to deal with the thought of going to take out your trash every night and seeing their humping silhouette through the bedroom window.  Every. Night.  Actually, "Dylan the stock trader" sounds like she stepped her game up from you.

PleaseBlitz Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I'm already tired of hearing about Harper. He's on another team and is therefore dead to me. I'd really rather not have the local media cover his every move.  The ONLY thing I am more tired of than Harper in Philly coverage is people noting that the Kieboom brothers have the word BOOM in their name every time they hit a ball hard.  1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doolittle and Dara Lind even up going back and forth a little. She says it was kinda a joke. So, I don't know.  I think it's a cool little thing the Nats and Doolittle did. Nobody is taking it seriously as reporting. Kind of like the local network having a kid interview a player at camp. Nobody is taking work away from a reporter. It's a schtick that happens now and then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, thanks for pointing out the exchange with Doolittle.  Yeah, nice feature from Wapo. I thought Dara Lind was taking a snipe, but I see now that it was a joke. Doolittle is definitely one of my favorites on the Nats.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems she's a Nats fan who just make a joke but kind of also wanted a reason to voice support for other reporters. So, that's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
