The "Mike Trout vs. Bryce Harper" Debate is Dead

[cezero]

yeah, people saying trout is the better player are doing it because they don't know harper's stats for a half season

nailed it

I think Trout's the better player right now. I was referring to the people that are saying Harper "hasn't lived up to the hype" and are seemingly unaware of what he's been doing in 2015.

Yeah, this isn't even a debate. Trout is going to go down as an all-time great and Harper is gonna be remembered more for his immaturity than being a good player.

Bryce Harper and Scot Strausburg will go down as two of the most overrated pieces of crap ever to hit the diamond.

Scot Strausburg. Gotta love Barves fans.

Three years in and it's not even close. Trout is smashing records from the steroids era and Bryce Harper is flipping his hair.

You started this today?

Have you been moonlighting for Miss Cleo’s Psychic Friends Network?

Harper has clearly mind fucked you to a healthy degree.

He has? News to me. I don't much care.

It's almost like people don't bother to check Harper's 2015 stats. Good fucking lord.

harper's 81 hr at 22 is up there as well with the greats. Not sure what living up to the "hype" is....having a barry bonds season of 73 hr's, guess your right, not living up to that hype.

Players hit 40 home runs at the age of 20 all the time

That's not why people don't like Harper. It's the constant hype since he came into the league, though his numbers up until the first half of this season were nothing in line with his press.

He's an immature douche who is easy to dislike for many reasons. The fact that he's finally put up some decent numbers over a 60 game stretch doesn't cancel out everything else.

Harper's been putting up 'decent' numbers long before this season began.

.270 hitter with never more than 22 HRs or 59 RBIs surely deserves the 'Chosen One' type lauding.

He certainly didn't have superstar numbers, but he was certainly better than you're giving him credit for. He had a .816 career OPS before this season, and to put that into perspective, there are more than a dozen All Star position players in 2015 with an OPS lower than that this season.

at what age's? plenty of superstars never had those good of numbers, HOFer George Brett off the top of my head

 

[da55bums]

because you think he is arrogant at 19-22 yr old, just means you forgot how bullet proof we all were then, it doesn't make him not doing some incredible things, like 15th fastest in MLB history to 50 hr.

His stats this year are pretty darn good imo... but over all (currently) I am taking Trout.

Man does this guy suck or what!

That is fucking cool. A natural cycle sort of. Unbelievable talent.
