Buy Bryce Harper

If there is some fool in your fantasy league who is looking to sell Bryce Harper, please help oblige that fool and take him off their hands.

One N.L. exec is clearly not a fan of Harper, calling him a "losing player". And while Harper's batting average is definitely a concern in fantasy circles (.217), his other numbers more than make up for it. He has an on-base percentage of .355 and has crushed 19 home runs with 43 RBI and 41 runs scored.

Harper has a ridiculously low BABIP of .212 this season, a number that is sure to correct itself to some degree over the last three months. He's still walking a lot (17.2% of the time), is clearly slugging the ball well (a .263 isolated power just slightly below last year's .276), and he has a hard-hit percentage of 42.9%, way up over last year's 34.3%.

So if you play in a batting average league, and some owner is sick of Harper's lack of performance, kindly take him off their hands. He's gonna be fine.
