They could not have picked a photo that makes him look more ridiculous.

Mike Trout Vs. Bryce Harper
The "Baseball Tonight" crew debates whether Mike Trout or Bryce Harper is the better baseball player to this point of their careers.

How is this a "debate"?

There is no debate.

yeah for real. trout does subway commercials already.

Only with the media.

Trout is the best player in baseball and no one is close to him, he's too good.

I'm sure it's consolation for him that he remains on my list of least-favorite Braves. Just not a good baseball player. Had a couple of nice seasons in bandbox parks (along with one in Miami). Stuck around because he was a steady shortstop.

Had to double-check the poster, since he has a shirt on.

"Harper could hit a home run in every at bat against the Angels and he still wouldn't be good enough to lick the dirt from Trout's cleats."

From the Nats board, true though lol.

He was a really good defender. When you add that to his power, he was hardly a bad baseball player.

Yeah, what the hell...some things just defy all logic. How long did he suck, 5 years?

Except he wasn't that good a defender and the only year he showed power outside of a stadium built for midgets was one year in Miami. The guy flat-out stunk.
