How risk adverse are you?

If you prefer playing it safe then pick Blackmon understanding that 2017 was the career year.

This.  And I don't really care for Harper.

Harper is the better player, but too much injury risk for me. Is Betts an option? I like him better than both. More upside than Blackmon and safer than Harper.

I agree that Blackmon is safer—he should hit for slightly better avg, probably get a few more sbs (although Harper has run a lot during spring training games), and will probably get more runs.   I expect Harper to get more walks, more hr’s, more rbi’s.   Harper is in a contract year so you have that going for you too. It’s really a coin flip.  I think Blackmon has a moderately higher floor but with a slightly lower ceiling. I think Harper has a moderately lower floor but with a moderately higher ceiling with Trea back.   I’d probably lean very slightly Blackmon because I trust him more to be a stable foundation for a team.

Ended up going with blackmon.  Was somehow able to snag Goldschmidt in round 2.  Pretty happy with that result.
