If you think if it from a business standpoint, Harper will be worth the 10 or 11/300-350MM contract. He's the most marketable player in MLB; he's box office material. They money he's going to generate (in Phila?) from merchandise/ticket sales/TV viewership will easily offset the 30MM per year that he (and his agent) take home. Harper is no Mike Trout, everyone will agree, but he will be a revenue machine for years to come.
