....I'd take that any day of the week.

Counterpoint:

Looking at Baseball Reference, between 2013 and 2019, Harper accumulated 26.6 Wins Above Replacement (WAR) for an average season of 3.80 WAR. Over the same period, Brett Gardner accumulated 27.0 WAR for an average season of 3.86.

So, the operative question isn't whether you'll take that level of production any day of the week. Rather, are you willing to pay twice as much for it?
