He's an infectious virus in the locker room, a premadonna on the field and I heard he very much prefers the company of young boys.

LOL, guy is no good because his 4th season doesn't compare to that of one of the best players ever. You're doing pretty damned good if you are getting comparisons to Ken Griffey Jr.

And it's not even true.

Trout 2013 (which was actually his third season, since he won ROY in 2011):

.287/.377/.561 (.939), 167 OPS+, 338 total bases (led league), 115 R (led league), 111 RBI (led league), 7.9 WAR

Griffey 1992:

.308/.361/.535 (.896), 149 OPS+, 302 total bases, 83 R, 103 RBI, 5.8 WAR

The frick? Trout's career BA is like 30 points higher than Harper's.

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.

You've gotta be, by far and away, the dumbest poster on this entire site.

Mike Trout career average: .306
Bryce Harper career average: .278

OP is a fricking moron.

Griffey's 4th season was better than Trout's 4th season and no way will Trout match Griffey's epic 5th season in 1993


Why does this matter? If anything this is a huge compliment to Trout considering he is being compared to Griffrey, arguably one of the best hitters in MLB history.
