re: Looks like Harper is better than Trout after all

I won't go that far yet but it's starting to head towards the path of the Mays/Mantle rivalry. For the first seven or eight years, Mantle had the better career by a country mile. Mantle had the edge in rings and stats and his four year stretch from 1955-1958 might be the greatest four year run by a player not named Babe Ruth or Barry Bonds. But Mays eventually caught up to Mantle and surpassed him. Bryce Harper's hit tool is so insane that it might override any advantage Trout has in the field and in the base paths.
