Trout & it's not really close right now.

Mike Trout is far better than Harper. Hands down bit even close.

How about now? Is it remotely close or not?

I remember when Harper was in high school and everyone was looking at his numbers in awe. Then I remember when he went to junior college and he didn't slow down. Then he went to the minors and accelerated quickly. Now he is in the pros and folks are wondering if he should get the Bonds treatment. At 23 years of age.

 

I hope people can appreciate his greatness instead of looking for ways to discredit him.

 

 

Side note: what the hell is wrong with Mike Trout right now? The FanDuel fanatic in me loves that he sucks right now. He is going to keep me cashing as he gets cheaper and cheaper and the law of averages catches up.

How about now? Is it remotely close or not?

 

Trout is basically not stealing bases anymore which bring it even closer.

Harper made history today.

7 PA

0 AB

6 BB

1 HBP

 

Twice he got an IBB with runners on 1st and 2nd.

No AB in his last 11 PA.

I would be ok with a rule change that a BB was an automatic 2 bases instead of just one.

That's Bondsesque...but he's only batting .265 or so and has struck out in a quarter of his ABs this season. Are they giving him too much respect?

Or it could be seen as not respecting Zimmerman

Classic Dusty hitting one of the worst hitter in the lineup behind Harper while Ramos and Murphy are crushing it.
