Bryce Harper has some serious power, but Matt Kemp won't pick him for the National League team in the Home Run Derby. Should Kemp reconsider?

• kjg444: "WAIT, is he trying to say that he doesn't think Harper is the best player ever!? Thats an outrage. How could you not pick the kid who is gonna hit under 20 homeruns this year. Shame on you Matt Kemp."
• tedctlai: "It's nice Kemp is not joining the Bryce Harper hype machine."
• MorseHorse38: "Oh well, I can just watch his BP show (not kidding when i say show) at nats park. He'll have plenty of chances to do it in the derby if he wants to. And he's only gonna get stronger as his body fully develops."
• noodles1990: "I like his mindset. Harper is 19 and will have the chance to play in multiple HRDs. I hope he picked Thome. While he isn't among the league leaders, he is one of the best power hitters ever, and this is probably his last season."
• kcfan2144: "Who cares about stats for the HR Derby. It should be 8 guys who the fans want to watch. I'd rather watch BP heroes like Adam Dunn and Giancarlo Stanton than guys like Rickie Weeks."
• burnt_trees: "Bryce Harper brings a lot of hype to baseball. If he was in the Home Run Derby, people would actually tune in to watch."
