Update on Bryce Harper
After receiving the largest contract in Major League Baseball history (at the time), Bryce Harper has now played just over a month with his new team, the Philadelphia Phillies. So far he has played 32 games with a batting average at .235. He leads the National League in walks with 25 but has only 6 home runs and 20 RBIs. Obviously it is still early in the season, but these are not the type of numbers that you would expect from a player who is getting $30 million a year. You expect this type of player to be tearing it up like Christian Yelich or Cody Bellinger who are leading the league in home runs and RBIs. At this point, I would not even have Harper as an All Star. He will need to turn up his production level in order to get his season back on track.
