And I agree -- Bryce Harper is nowhere near the top 100. Needs three to five more great seasons. |
Harper and Trout probably reflect who ESPN had on the panel. Still puzzling out Pedro, obviously a very great pitcher at his peak, but the career to me just doesn't add up to him ranking over Clemens, Young, Alexander, etc.
