Bryce Harper was the golden child and the hype machine was going full tilt boogie on him. Trout was not a surprise to me, once I saw him play against the Yankees. But maybe being on the west coast kept him from being in the spotlight and Harper-hype overshadowed Trout a little?

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.
