Tom Verducci: Taking stock of just how amazing Trout and Harper were in 2012

Excerpt:

Bryce Harper and Mike Trout made the first of what will surely be many All-Star Games in their careers in 2012. Harper and Trout. Trout and Harper. They have been linked already in their young careers with strong bonds: travel baseball superstars as amateurs, Scottsdale Scorpions teammates in the Arizona Fall League last year, major league call-ups on the same day this year, their first All-Star Game experienced together this year, texting buddies and now Rookies of the Year announced on the same night. Get used to the dynamic duo, and not only because they just might be hitting 1-2 in the USA lineup for manager Joe Torre in the World Baseball Classic next spring. They also are the pre-eminent faces of what's now -- not just what's next -- in baseball.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
