good for him. if murton can have a breakout year in lf, with soriano's contract harvey will most likely be expendable. hopefully he can cut down on his k's and work on his obp.

After hitting .206 with seven homers and 41 RBIs through June, the Florida native batted .316 with 13 homers and 43 RBIs over the final two months of the campaign.

 

Twelve days before his four-homer effort, Harvey drove in seven runs against the Palm Beach Cardinals. His strong finish to the season helped him take an optimistic attitude into the offseason.

 

"I came into the second half telling myself I had to make this year worth it, that I really had to go out there and prove myself," he said. "I wanted everyone to know I wasn't the same player they saw earlier in the season, and I think I accomplished that."

We'll see. If his shortened swing can help him hit like that all next season and if he can improve his plate discipline from 20-some walks per year to over 40 next season, the Cubs may have something to deal with.

When I first saw this thread title, my first thought was "What on earth for?"

 

I guess that's cool. Now let's see if he can take a few pitches.

I still have hope for Harvey. Hopefully the second half of the year marked a turning point for him.
