If I had to guess ... Harper gets a bigger contract that Trout. I'm not saying that Harper is better.

The Phillies and Yankees may disagree

I'd rather have Trout than Harper. It isn't my money.

Anyone else notice Harper shoo away Ramos as he rounded 3B and headed home? The guy just can't help himself from acting like a total asshole. 

Edit: 23 second mark

This is pretty funny considering I drank an Elysian Brewery Immortal IPA this evening.

[tdawg87]

Nah they're owned by Anheuser-Busch now. That's not hipster liberal douchey enough. 

[Angelsjunky]

Elysian is? I've only had them a couple times. OK, but not great. Go to bed, tdawg87.

Everybody's defensive knee jerk reaction on Harper is he isn't as good as Trout.

The reality is there are only a few free agents where a team honestly believes the best years may be to come rather than behind.

Harper doesn't have to be anywhere close to Trout to command a ridiculous contract.  He is a "star" that draws an audience and he might be the best bet among all players to pop 60 homers a year in his age 28-32 years.

Somebody is going to pay him big even if he only continues to tease.

What does Jayson Hayward make again?

Lot of shit talking on Bryce in here. Don't really get it. He's made some mistakes, but big deal. He's not committing felonies. No, he's not as good as Trout but who cares? Guy is 24 years old and is already such a good player. He's fun to watch.

Bottom line is as a fan I would be beyond stoked for the Angels to have Harper.

And for the most part, 95% OF the time, I really don't care how much money players make.

@tdawg87, I think what we can say with some degree of certainty is that Harper, at his best, is as good as Trout, maybe even a tad better - at least with the bat. But as you rightly point out, we don't know if he'll be as consistent - he certainly hasn't been so far. I wouldn't be surprised to see him oscillate a bit more.

I'm thinking a 5-10 year ban is worth considering, Chuck.

I truly believe our enjoyment of major league baseball would increase if we had no idea the financial side of the game.

Agreed.  I don't "need" to know what they get paid.  I don't mind knowing and certainly it is interesting, but most people generally don't know and generally don't care what other entertainers make.

If so Adam Sandler would be more hated.

Early signing ... taking no chances

Harper and Trout have some very smart business people working with them. Both of those players are setting themselves up for the largest payouts in MLB history.

Harper starts the next game with another HR lol
