Don't get me wrong. I love the guy and hope he has a hall of fame career. But he hasn't topped .275 or 60 RBI in a single season. Those aren't just low for a supposed all star. Those are lower than some extremely mediocre players.

What am I missing here?

Hype and potential. Eventually that won't carry him.

All Star voting is done by the fans. Harper is one of those fan favorites.

He's still young but you are right his numbers don't support the early hype he

2 things I don't envy about him. Hype, and the Trout comparisons.

I'm not completely disagreeing with you, but...

Extremely good? Which numbers specifically.

People still look at RBIs as an indicator of how good a player is?

Worthless? Lol

Actually, it isn't.

If there is a guy on base, I prefer the player who drives him in more

So you mean you would rather have the guy

Yes, as useful as a VCR is to me in my entertainment center.

I don't care how Tibbys09 slices the stats. Harper is not close to AS worthy

I haven't made the case for or against Harper anywhere.
