Since when does .258 get you in the all-star game? 17 homers, yeah. But even Espinosa has more.
I guess he's in 'cause he's Bryce Harper.
Does Bryce Harper Deserve to be an All-Star?tl:dr - only because he's popular with fans.

these who deserves to be in or out posts / articles / conversations are so stupid…
whoever the fans vote for "deserves" to be in…that's just the nature of the all star game.. its not based on who has the best stats or who is the best player.. just who gets the most votes.. its a popularity contest.. if it was based on actual performance you could have some nice computer program pick all the players….
so many players get elected to the all star game year after year who don't deserve it.. Jeter his last few times for example was pitiful.
I think Harper's stats look pretty solid and considering he is the reigning MVP and is one of the leaders on one of the best teams… I think his selection is a no brainer… I say that as a Bryce Harper hater…

Harper's MLB rankings:
WAR: 75th
Home Runs: 19th
RBI: 38th
Average: 114th
Slugging: 50th
OBP: 9th
Solid? Sure. He's been worth the 5 million he's getting paid (not really, but relative to other player salaries). An All-Star? Nah.
Give his spot to Jake Lamb.

Always better that it happens before the trade deadline and not after.
But Dusty being surprised at him managing pitchers not working out is something Nats fans should get used to.

http://deadspin.com/nationals-turn-first-3-3-5-triple-play-in-history-1784576615This highlight is amusing for a few seconds.
But what's much better is the comments section that systematically proves Dusty Baker is a lying piece of shit. This is real journalism, America.

Even more impressive was that Zimm was able to throw the ball across the diamond. Of course he pulled the guy off the base, but there was plenty of time to recover.

Wonder if it was as painful for him as it was for us to witness it. My wife can throw a softball better than that.
