I'm mostly shocked that Freese is #2.  Those StL fans are out of control.

Anyway, back to Harper.  I was talking with my teammates about the Nats and I was surprised at all of the hate for Harper.  With the exception of my manager (A Yankee fan who has adopted the Nats as his NL team since he goes down to Ocean City to visit family and takes in a few games every year since 2007), everyone on my team thought he was a "punk kid" and doesn't deserve to be in the All-Star discussion.  Some even went so far as to say that he's a douche that disrespects the game.

I thought it was an interesting conversation since most everyone up here is a Yankee fan and it's assumed that he'll be at least courted by the Yankees after his contract in DC is up. 

It seems odd how many people have a negative opinion of Harper.  Doesn't seem there's any factual basis for the negativity.

I think people who have negative feelings toward Harper have them because they're jealous that the Nationals have him and they don't.

Better than getting show up by Bryce Harper-only fans.

Well, I put in about 30 more Harper votes just now... Not sure it's going to be enough to get him into the game.

My friend who is a White Sox fan believes Harper will get in anyways to relace Kemp, that MLB will do it for ratings. Not sure if I agree.

Yeah.  I believe that the game needs it's stars there.  Harper's as big of one as there is right now.  I also think Chipper deserves to be there based on his career.  I think it's good for legends to have one final moment on a stage like this. 

I also like Doyle.

By that logic, Ian Desmond shouldn't be on the roster.

don't type words for my response.  It needs both players having a great season but it NEEDS it's stars too.  There is absolutely a place for guys like Desmond.

If he was as big of a star as we like to think he is, he wouldn't be in third in the fan voting

I wonder if Harper makes a surge as power is restored in the area.
