Bryce Harper - 1st Round Pick

[BK METS]

Picked in the 1st round, 13th pick, in my DC tonight.... sign of things to come? 1st Rounder in the Main?

[Glenneration X]

I hope so.

[Lobbyist999]

The things people will attempt for $150.

[Head 2 Head]

ADP in first four 12 teamers (15.5).....

[Edwards Kings]

Absolutely. Harper is exactly the kind of low risk investment you want in the first round. Guys who are 20 or 21 years old are clearly better than all but a dozen or so MLB caliber players who have three, four years more experience.

[Outlaw]

Its with in reason to expect the 1st season (2012) 19 year old players stats, to approach the 2nd season (2012) 20 yr old players stats in his 2nd (2013) season. Steals maybe not, but its quite possible that the 19 yr old exceeds the some of the stats of the 20 year old this year. If I Rememebr, the 20 year olds first season (age 19 - 2011) was one big turd over 135 AB's.

Sure. Why not?

[hot and cold]

By the look of that last photo sure he isn't the next J Hamilton .

[gpchurchill]

in the same league with bkmets. there have been a few unusual picks. my first seven players; wieters, freeman, miggy, wright, rollins, price, darvish.

[KJ Duke]

He's a solid second rounder with new car appeal as a first rounder for those who like to pay full retail price.

if given a choice between taking harper "early" in the first or taking edwin encarnacion in the 2nd... im taking harper every day of every week of every year. i think there is going to be a lot of disappointed encarnacion owners.

i also think that stanton going at 15 is insane. he could hit 50 homers and drive in only 75.

Agree, Stanton and Encarn should be 4th-5th rounders.

Not just the $150 leagues. Harper has an ADP of 16.8 in the $350 RotoWire Online Championship going into tonight's draft. He's gone as high as 11th and no lower than 22nd thus far.
