I like Harper. Dude can play, but these numbers currently used by some fans and analysts are ridiculous.

When comparing Trout and Harper, I don't think people take into account how much better

They'll likely be the two highest paid position players for years.

not totally true...harper is a much better catcher than trout...

Trout's defensive metrics don't show him to be a great defender

Trout was a beast his rookie year minus his arm strength

They are both amazing players. Trout started off better, Harper had a better

It's like Bonds & Griffey in the 90's. Good luck comparing them.

Bonds was better. Easy. All the advanced metrics favor Bonds.
