Personally, I can understand why people would want to see Harper participate, because he is 19 and he's got a sweet stroke. But I think it's unfair to say Kemp excluded him because he didn't want to get showed up. If he didn't want to get shown up, why did he pick Stanton? Also, [nickj123] said it best, Harper has many more years to participate. There are several other notable players Kemp didn't choose that have hit more homers this year than Harper. Here are a few (I wouldn't necessarily pick these guys, but they stand-out with Harper just the same):Originally Posted by nickj123

I'm a Giants fan who has hated Matt Kemp since he came up and I agree, Harper will have plenty of time to hit bombs in the HRD, I would have been pissed if he didn't pick Stanton though!
