Manny Machado > Bryce Harper

But everyone talks about the pretty-boy.

But...

Trout>Machado

Why did they choose 358 at bats? Is that a significant number? Why not round it to 350 or something?

Would you rather have a power hitting 3B who can defend or a power hitting CF who can defend? I think the 3B is harder to find than the CF.

But...

Trout>Machado

I'd say the bottom line is RBI's. But either way, they're both better than Bryce Harper and his fancy hair. Especially defensively.

Probably one of them (I'd bet Machado) only has 358 at bats.

Absolutely an INF and especially a 3B.

In 2013, Machado has a better average than Harper, but Harper has twice as many homers, twice as many walks, less strikeouts, a much better OBP, a much better slugging %, and a much better OPS.

Manny does deserve to be in the discussion with Harper and Trout though.

Yeah but they don't have OPS and SB's on there. Harper is good no doubt just was hyped up to be great.

OPS>>>>AVG.

CF, but Machado will be moving to SS pretty soon. (within 2 years)

At the beginning of the season the Nats were so cocky that Harper said that they should just give me my ring. In every sport I have watched when a team is cocky they usually lose. I am sure that the rest of the teams are bringing their "A" game. I do not see the Nats winning unless they humble themselves and go back to basics, starting with Bryce Harper.

 

[da55bums]

holy crap, they both are only 22, who the hell knows, and Miguel Cabrera at 22?

Thinking Kris Bryant and Kyle Schawber better than both

Hammer down getting his troll on. Nice to see its not just on the football board.

As a Seattle fan, you ask me Machado or Harper or Trout.... My answer is Yes please!
