Give Harper time to develop

We are all closely following the feats of the teenage baseball star, Las Vegas' own Bryce Harper. But before we stuff the ballot box to make him an all-star this month let's all take a breath. Consider another teenage star: Bob Feller. He tossed three no-hitters in his teens, won a World Series ring in 1948, a pennant in 1954 and breezed into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot. Let's see what Harper can achieve deeper into his career: maybe a batting title, a World Series ring and a pennant for the Washington Nationals without the devil intervening on their behalf. Let's watch and cheer him on to a great future, and let him mature at his own pace.
