My heart says Bryce Harper. My head says Arenado. It probably does not matter as I think there is a high probability I will keep both for 3 years anyway.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-7392868948635060472018-03-18T08:45:18.599-07:002018-03-18T08:45:18.599-07:00I don't know your scoring so it's kind of ...I don't know your scoring so it's kind of tough. But since most fantasy leagues love the big-bopper, I'd go Arenado because only one player has hit more HRs than Arenado over the past three years. And it isn't Harper who is 13th and has only hit 30+ HRs once while Arenado has gone 42, 41 and 37 the past three years.<br /><br />Also, Harper seems to miss more time. That's part of why his HR totals aren't as good as Arenado's. I think if you could rely on Harper to be 100% healthy and get 650+ PAs, I'd go with him. But he's only done that once and when he did he only hit 29 HRs. Whereas Arenado has been the picture of health the past three years.<br /><br />Harper does some advantages depending on scoring though. In my league we have an OBP category. Harper is #4 over the past three years in OBP. Arenado is not even Top-30. So he helps you win that category as well as some minor help in the SB category (he's good for 10-to-12 SBs a year, Arendo... Not so much.)<br />MosesZDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702323080585738748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-32158560856446258742018-03-17T22:42:07.732-07:002018-03-17T22:42:07.732-07:00I would keep Arenado because while Harper probably...I would keep Arenado because while Harper probably has a little higher ceiling as far as stats he can put up, Arenado has been far more durable and consistent which as you know is critical in fantasy sports. It seems Arenado has been going around #3 or 4 in my single season mock drafts while Harper is going a couple spots later, so it seems people are a bit higher on Arenado at least as of right now.
