Ready for the new season. Bring it on! cheesy

How is Devin Booker not in the ESPN top 10? Based on last season's playoff alone he has to easily be on that list.

They're telling us SGA is better than Devin Booker? Lowkey that's one cat whose abilities have been taken for granted for some time now

The Harper vs Trout arguments always comes up at times like these. I'm sorry but Mike has to find way to leave the Angels within the next year or two. Ohtani is most certainly gone next year.

Ohtani should go to the Dodgers.

Based on Ja's extra curricular activities I can understand why even though I don't get Anthony Edwards being as high as 13. He's not a top 15 player in that league I'm sorry. Ahead of Jaylen Brown? A joke

Nba dudes will have to relearn all their ingrained angles with this Wembayama dude. His 8ft wingspan is just disrupting everything. You think he's out of position and all of a sudden that frame is contesting the shot. The nba needs to hope this dude stays healthy because if he does and fulfills his potential, he his going to make money for a lot of people

I am not challenging what you have said but is it because he blocked Klay Thompson in a preseason game?

Shots will get blocked here and there. Patrick Beverley had blocked Lebron if I am not mistaken.

It's not the blocks at all, it's the way guys have to change the arcs on their shot as soon as they feel him around.

Ohtani should go to the Dodgers.

Tbh they are one of the only teams that would be able to afford His wages.

Trout would always get the nudge over Harper because he is better and that’s the truth. However, Trout’s career will be significantly tainted if he remains with the Angels and Harper goes ahead and wins a WS championship.

Trout’s situation is one that even the MLB tried to rescue. The MLB tried for 2 season to make him the face of the league but that failed because Mike doesn’t really care about the limelight. Now the league is struggling with a face, especially since F. Tatis Jr of the Padres has a lot of issues.

And yes l Ohatani is done with the Angels. I expect one of the traditional big teams (Red Sox/ Yankees/ Dodgers) to land him.


Trout is most definitely the better player without a shadow of doubt. If fully fit, Mike outperforms Harper 8 out of times over the course of the season however the the key word here is "If". With Trout's injury record over the last few seasons, I think the days of Him playing 140+ games are over as I only see His back problems getting worser as He ages.

Trout will go down as the better player but Harper will have the better legacy especially with his Post season performances. He needs to leave and go to team that gives Him a chance of contending but how many teams will be willing to pay His remaining guaranteed contract along with giving up prospects the Angels will undoubtedly demand? If you were guaranteed He would play 140+ games a year for the next 5-6 years, teams will literally give up their farm for Him unfortunately that's not the case any longer.

Yh trout does not have the charisma to pull off being one of the faces of league unfortunately. Tatis I reckon in the next one or two years will be back amongst the faces. His unfortunate drug problem is simply too recent. Ohtani, Harper, JRod and Probably Mookie(might be one or two are currently forgetting) are the faces of the league.

BTW both the NLCS and ALCS have been nothing short of amazing thus far. The battle for Texas and the Diamondbacks remarkable fight backs. Astonishing.
