When I ask who's better, I mean who has had the best track record that will lead to the most production in the future. For example, Donaldson has been amazing the last three years, but he's also 30, which won't bode well for his future. And you could say, "well Carlos Correa is only 21, and he's been great so I think he'll be the best!" and ok, good for you, but Correa has put up a 3.8 WAR in 486 PA- not nearly enough playing time to make projections that place him above Trout and Harper yet (not that that production would be good enough if he did it for 4 years anyway, obviously). So who you got?
I still like Trout. A lot of people will pick Harper, because he was better last year and he has a 222 wRC+ this year while Trout has been league average with the bat, but we've got to take into consideration that it's been two weeks, and Harper has had two series against Atlanta pitching. Trout has been cumulatively better for longer, and not to mention, Harper is still injury prone. It could go either way though- and these two should be the best two players in baseball for the next 4-8 years barring injuries or other godly players entering the league.
