Haha Bryce Harper not an all star but guess who is

[Ez Money 77]

Mike Trout baby. All the hype on Harper when Trout is the real deal. I like Harper just don't like how he got ALL the hype.

[ChalkyDog]

Trout is legit. Some amazing talent, young talent. Trumbo also very good. Could have easily avoided Pujols and just rolled with Trumbo.

i understand the trout love affair...the kid is good...i just dont understand how one expects harper to not get overhyped.....it would be like people/media hyping dahntay jones or travis outlaw from the 03 draft instead of lebron.....

[Chi_archie]

Hype started around when his 16 year old SI cover came out... Boras, continued it i'm sure... wait is Boras his agent? i'm just assuming here..sorry


Harper makes news, and news is drawn to him.... like blowing kisses at AA pitchers and stuff....

Okay but Trout and Harper were ranked 1-2 by everyone for the minors. Some had Trout one some Harper one. Though when the season started all that was talked about was Harper. That's what I mean.

[ChalkyDog]

The guy is a loud mouth. He loves and craves attention. Harper is the same guy who started the whole ultimate warrior face paint thing with the black out.

Harper is talented, probably much better upside than Trout. More of a 5 tool kinda player.

Right now though, Trout is without question the much better player.

because the american sports media has a love affair with number 1 picks....

or this just proves the NL is way harder than the AL. Nationals went into TO and swept them. LA did not sweep the Blue Jays. (The only exposure one gets to baseball in Canada is Blue Jays). Harper hit a bomb to the RIM Sign in the outfield, haven't heard anything of Trout.

Bryce Harper is certainly an all-star douchebag.

[MendozaLine]

Bryce Harper is certainly an all-star douchebag.

Harper batting .274

Trout batting .336

Harper has 8 Hr

Trout has 8 Hr

Harper has 22 RBI

Trout has 32 RBI

Harper has 8 SB

Trout has 22 SB

Oh yeah and Trout has the best catch of the year.

Not saying Harper is good. Just was getting all the hype when Trout was out performing him.

[milwaukee mike]

you just add to the hype by continuing to bash harper

complain that he gets mentioned too much yet you talk about him all the time

[Ez Money 77]

ok.

[milwaukee mike]

seriously ez money, i sense your frustration but just like lebron james, the haters end up backfiring because people like the guy even more for having to put up with being criticized.

i agree with you that harper was WAY overhyped by the media, but sometimes just ignoring a guy makes it better. i seriously hadn't been thinking about bryce harper at all until you keep mentioning him.

[Ez Money 77]

I agree.

[InTheDrink]

trout is a year older than harper and trout was not good last year in his call up

its a shame that these guys have to be constantly compared to each other and not just
based on their own merits

[keyboarding]

Compare Harper's numbers next season to Trout's this season to get a more accurate comparison.

[romecloneout]

sweating

[darrell74]

ESPN and Harper are dating

[ttwarrior1]

harper has less games?

[HOT WINGS]

Harper still a year behind in development. They will both be very good for long time.

[ChalkyDog]

The ESPN connection is not insignificant.

ESPN main office is down the road from where Harper plays. Also across the country from Trout.
