Stargell is ahead of Harper 2-0 in the most important stat.
Weird. I looked through the list of World Series winning teams and didn’t see “Stargell”. Anyway, I don’t know how much playing on a World Series winning team is weighed into Hall of Fame selection.
I’d say, right off the top of my head, that there are fifteen or twenty players in the HOF who would not be there it if they hadn’t won a championship. And on the other hand you got Ted Williams.
Yeah, Stargell’s stuck at two. If the Phillies win a WS I’ll give virtual high fives to all my Phillies fan buddies on the board. But I have to say I’d love it if Harper never won a WS. As soon as Harper left Washington the Nats won. Call me petty but I’d like to keep that 0 on Harper’s record. Harper is a definite Hall of Famer, no question at all, that’s not my argument.
It took four days to come up with that response? You’re not even good at trolling.
Skenes should not be an all star this year.
as for the topic a couple days, I would not say Harper is a HOF player at this point (like if he up and retired tomorrow). He is on pace to be.
It’s an interesting debate as to whether the Phillies should have kept Ranger over Nola.
They may have been looking at rotation balance as much as anything with Sanchez and Luzardo already lefty starters.
I’d feel a lot better about Ranger as #3 this year than Luzardo or Nola.
I really don’t think it should have been a debate at all - I was screaming bloody murder at the time to sign Ranger.
Now we are stuck with a meatball of a pitcher and an albatross if a contract.
Good example of compounding bad decisions. The Nola extension was bad at the time and has gotten a lot worse. Then giving Casty the 5th year was another poor move.I really don’t think it should have been a debate at all - I was screaming bloody murder at the time to sign Ranger.

The Phillies could overcome either of those moves, but not both. That doomed them with Ranger, IMO.
