Jeff and Wags,
You know what, you got me thinking you might be serious.
Now I want you to prove it.
I keep looking at this….and….
…sign Bryce Harper.
It’s just money.
Take that lineup and make Lagares the solid bench player he should be.
The window is closing because some maniac traded the farm to the Mariners for a 36 year old coming off a PED suspension.
Jake might be gone in a year, and Thor will be gone right around the time you need those kids you dealt off.
This is, because of you Wags, a win now team.
So let’s win now.
Maybe Bryce hands in 2016’s .243 24 and 86. I’ll even curve down those numbers with some Citi Field Effect to .243 18 and 86. Sure the natives will be restless, but just the IDEA of Bryce Harper in this lineup will change things. But maybe he hands in 2015’s .330 42 and 99!
Bringing in Harper will also do wonders for the fanbase in that Take Back New York kind of way.
Some of you are wondering what happens when Cespedes comes back. Dudes (and dudettes) we should be so lucky to worry about the Too Many Overs problem. Believe me, should Riggleman need to solve that (yeah I just mentally fired Mickey Hodges, he sucks at this) problem of how to get Harper, Cespedes, Nimmo and Conforto all deserving ABs….man we should be so lucky.
What’s the money for Jeff? You and I were young when the Mets last won. Wouldn’t you like to be on top just once?
Spend the coin. Maybe we wind up overpaying. Whatever. You already sold out the 2020’s to get an ex-client in here. If you’re going for it, then go for it.
It’s Harper time.
