If it's play money, then sure it's fun. If it's an investment, it's stupid as hell, for one thing he's 25 and his minor league history is not that impressive, for another thing he has been great only a few months and that doesn't necessarily predict anything in baseball.

I thought Trout was the new Mantle. Or is it Harper or...

Trout's better than Mantle. Harper isn't as good as Mantle, nor will Judge be.

Trout has been sensational his first few years. Harper has been inconsistent, but if (big if) he can stay healthy and tame his tendency to get impatient (which emerged again last year), I think long term he could be the equal of Trout. Judge, I remain skeptical.

Keep in mind Harper is only 24 and already has close to 150 HR.

i once believe this, but i don't think this is the case going forward. trout's all-around game is better, and i thought harper was the more offensively gifted player but trout makes crazy adjustments every year so i don't even think that's the case anymore.

i'm not going to comment on judge, let's see him finish one mlb season first and how he adjusts next year. trout is like lebron at this point, people keep trying to elevate players over him and the new flavor of the month (cabrera, harper, bryant, judge etc) but the king stays the king.
