With the Reds having a few guys who could be in the running for this do you think Harper wins it because of his name and hype regardless of stats?

I think Harper will win because of the stats he'll put up.

Give it time. The game will humble him. It always does.
Mez probably won't get nearly as many at-bats as Harper so I would imagine Harper would put up better numbers, and Cozart would probably only be ROTY in a year featuring no other notable rookies.
Harper has to be the early favorite, but should Julio Teheran or Trevor Bauer get called up and dominate, it could be there's for the taking.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
If Harper played in Cincy he would be loved and heralded as the next Pete.
He is 19 years old. He will grow out of it.

I've yet to see any arrogance out of Harper at the MLB level. I love watching him play.
I love Harper. The guy is full-go, every minute of every game. Pujols is arrogant. Bonds was arrogant. Jose Canseco was arrogant. Bryce Harper plays as if the game owes him nothing. It's not his fault he's been overhyped and is a media darling. He's a great talent, and I hope he owns D.C. for the next 10 years.
