The Super Bowl was two weeks ago, the NHL and NBA are both in the final stretches of the regular season and March Madness betting lines don't open for a few weeks. Meaning to say, it is that time of year again to look at baseball fantasy matchups. Today fans about to bet on March Madness, can turn their attention to two potential rookies for the 2011 MLB season, Bryce Harper and Mike Trout. Today we try to decide which future MLB star we'd rather have on our team in 2011 fantasy.

Both Bryce Harper of the Washington Nationals and Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels play in the outfield. However, that is where the comparison ends, as Bryce Harper similar to pitching phenom and eventual teammate Stephen Strasburg, was a first overall pick. Harper, to the positional players of the Nationals is what Strasburg will be to the pitchers, the ace, the go to guy, the one that will guide the team to bigger and better things.

Harper is projected by many scouts to be a 50 home run guy, who can carry the offensive load. His defense projects to be decent, but not as good as current right fielder Jayson Werth. Expect Harper to come into the big leagues by 2013. Yet with the attendance numbers declining in Washington, he may be rushed to the majors by 2012.

Meanwhile, Mike Trout a player who was also a first rounder didn't get selected by the Angels until the 25^th spot of the first round. According to multiple scouting agencies, Trout is five tool raw talent, that could be with the Angels organization starting in 2012. He is currently blocked by fellow prospect Peter Bourjos. However, considering Trout has the ability to play all three outfield positions and Vernon Wells contract can be bought out in 2013, we may see Trout start his big league career in left field before switching to center.

What's more, Trout has a 20 home run, 80 RBI projection by most scouts, while hitting for an average of 300. In other words, while 20/80/300 are decent numbers, most teams will be banking on him for his defensive play.
