Actually, it isn't.

Batting average for that matter is also seen as a mostly meaningless stat. The RBI takes the cake for the most meaningless offensive stat out there.

There are far better statistics out there today that measure the value of baseball players.

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?

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

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.
