Message: [QUOTE="billythekid, post: 2933962, member: 325"] Would the Yankees really be that much better off with Harper over Stanton? Harper is a few years younger than Stanton and that is definitely a factor over the length of the contract, but Harper's numbers don't seem so overwhelming lately. I don't follow the National League that much, but I don't think that Harper is a plus defender, so that's a wash. Plus, I thought that Stanton handled being in NYC pretty well. Even during those rough stretches at the beginning of the season, he always seemed to answer all the questions thrown his way by the media. To me, the big questions for the Yankees on offense is whether Gary Sanchez can bounce back and what the Yankees can get out of the first base position. I'm still a Greg Bird believer, maybe the only one left at this point. I just think his upside is too rich to give up on him just yet. [/QUOTE]
