Bryce Harper a National League All-Star??

MLB All-Star voting has started and one of the biggest questions has come about 19 year-old Bryce Harper. Should Bryce Harper be voted in as an NL All-Star? Is he too young? Has he done enough yet? Well, all those questions can be answered when you go to cast your NL League ballot this year. There you will not see the Nationals outfielder even as an option on the ballot. According to the MLB Haper has not done enough to deserve a chance at the All-Star weekend festivities.

Bryce Harper has had a steller year this year with an outstanding .367 OBP as a 19 Year-old. He is batting .288, has 3 triples, and 17 RBI's. Those numbers are not crazy impressive, but the thing that does standout is the kid is 19 and he plays harder and more intense than any other player, when he is between the white lines. Check out the Bleacher Report on Harpers season so far.

I think this may be a big mistake for the MLB and may miss the chance for one of their rookie phenoms to help bring excitement and ratings to All-Star weekend. Not to mention, I'm sure the NL team would love to have him to help secure home field advantage for the NL World Series contender.

The only way we are going to see Harper in the All-Star game this year is if fans write him in. So, start writing MLB Fans All-Star Game 2012 Ballot !
