So Mr. Wiggley asked if I would want Harper. Ad is he a Piazza or a Bonilla?
So, Wigs, Tough question, because this is where the Yanks and Mets differ obviously. If the Yanks signed Harper, they can still do a lot more. if the Mets signed Harper, I doubt that they could do anything else. They need a lot more than harper.
But: that being said, if the Mets did open up to pay Harper, It would give them some credibility to try to win at all costs, which that haven't done in a while. I always liked Harper. Plays hard. Home runs and RBI's, but lower average. So, yes, I would want Harper, if this new GM is given a very large budget to try to win.
I think he is somewhere in the middle of Piazza and Bonilla. A lot better than Bonilla. Not as good as Piazza, but remember, Piazza put those numbers up as a catcher, Harper is an Outfielder which is easier to find a good player.
Mets are still searching for a catcher and have not had a good one since Piazza.
Good question Wigs.
