Bryce Harper

Thoughts? How big of an impact will he have this season?

The few drafts I've been in, people have been reaching for him anywhere from the 13th-16th Rds. I know he's slated for allot of Spring Training action but my best guess is the club will let him get 1/2th of a season at AAA before calling him up for good. Best guess, maybe .290/ 9 HR/ 31 RBI/ 7 SB in 60 or so games? His arrogance annoys me but he appears to be the real deal.

I definitely feel like he is the real deal, however his impact really depends on when he gets called up. I actually just traded him (I'm in a keeper league), along with Elvis Andrus, and Ike Davis for Madison Bumgarner, Jose Reyes, and Dan Haren. There is "fantasy money" involved too which I won't get into specifics, but it works out well for both teams. I just hope that if Harper is going to explode, it's not this season so I don't regret anything lol. He has a lot of pressure on him to live up to this hype since he's been 13.
