At This Stage Bryce Harper is Equivalent to Ken Griffey Juniors Early Career Prospect

[We Ready]

Trout has been hyped up a lot. What are you talking about? No one has forgotten about Trout, he will probably make the All Star team this year.

Does MLB Network cut to every Trout AB live?

I didnt say Trout was as or more hyped as Harper, Im saying Trout has not been forgotten. No one has forgotten Mike Trout this season.

Not literally forgotten, but I guess I should have used the word hyped. The amount of coverage Bryce is getting compared to Trout just seems unfair.

Harper has been seen as the future face of baseball since he was 15, so I understand why he gets more coverage than Trout. If he played in Arizona, he would be seeing the same amount of hype so its not a West Coast issues either. Harper is also the youngest player in the league and he has been VERY good so far. Trout has been better tho. I wont say its unfair because I get why it is but Trout hasnt been forgotten either.

 

[Listen]

Harper is the Lebron of Baseball.

Mike Trout is just another really well regarded rookie.

Harper ABSOLUTELY has more power than Trout.

Trout will probably always steal more bases than Harper.

 

[mastermind]

Trout is probably a better defensive outfielder too, altho Harper has an insane arm.

Not like he's lying.

If I had to take Stanton, Harper, or Trout... I'm taking Stanton in a heartbeat. It's a shame his pretty good season is being overshadowed by Harper. Even Strasburg and Trout are being overshadowed by Harper in the media... it's crazy.

@ Stanton being better than Harper.
Harper>>>Stanton, and it's not even close. Harper is better at fielding; base-running, and has a better eye at the plate.

Of course Harper should get the most attention out of everyone. Harper has that Bonds/Bron/Kobe aura, that everyone loves to hate, also he's a phenom. Harper is one of the best things to happen to MLB in the past 5 years.

His contract had little to nothing to do with him being called up this year. Him being really fukking good did though

Yup, started his arb clock early also, which could fukk the nats out of his services for a year...

And Griffey played all out, everygame, for 11 years on turf, which inturn contributed to the injurys.

 

[dennis roadman]

baseball writers been hyping bryce for 4-5 years, no way they're gonna split hairs and put the spotlight on trout when all the harper coverage proves them all right

 

[Czerka]

Trout plays on the west coast too

East coast writers are asleep while he's tearing it up with multi hit multi steal games and stellar gold glove defense

But Harper is better

 

[Danny Up]

Griffey was killing MLB at 19

i dunno he kinda has a crouched swing similar to Mattingly in fact there swing look exact to me and its a perfect doubles swing plus he plays it a more unforgiving stadium

u wrong bro. Harper has 50 homer power with ease and thats right now. imagine when he's used to the pitching. Plus trout is a year older.
