Must win: Bryce Harper has the career Mike Trout deserves

The difference between Bryce Harper and Mike Trout was never more apparent than it was this week.

Harper is the leader of the Philadelphia Phillies, a team expected to contend for a World Series championship.

Meanwhile, Trout, a 2009 Millville High School graduate, is standing in the burning building known as the Los Angeles Angeles asking the owner to bring him a bucket of water to douse the flames.

Trout, 32, and Harper, 31, have been linked since their careers began. Both became full-time big leaguers in 2012. Trout is the more talented player. He’s won three MVP awards to Harper’s two.

Trout beats Harper in the following career categories: Home runs (368-306); slugging percentage (.581 to .521); OPS (.994 to .912); on-base percentage (.412 to .391); and Baseball Reference WAR (85.2 to 46.2).

Yet, if you were a 10-year-old kid sitting on the edge of the bed and dreaming about life in the major leagues, whose career would you want to have?
