I would agree on Harper and Bryant. They have a long way to go before they prove they're going to be consistently great players.

But Trout? The guy is in his sixth season (well, fifth full season). The last four, he's either won an MVP, or been MVP runner up. He was Rookie of the Year, he's been a four-time All Star, and has won four Silver Sluggers. He has a career 42.5 WAR, and he's not even 25 yet. He's hit 156 home runs, stolen 123 bases, has a lifetime .306 AVG, and is slashing .399 OBP/.560 SLG/.959 OPS after 3,212 plate appearances. His 169 OPS + is eighth highest all-time for players with over 3,000 plate appearances.

Trout is a superstar, and his cards really aren't overvalued considering what he's done.


Best $99 I ever spent on my hobby.
