You tell us: Who will have the better 2018 season, Mike Trout or Shohei Ohtani?

For basically as long as he's been in the Major Leagues, Mike Trout has been among if not the best player in baseball. But as of Friday afternoon, he's got some company ... on his own team.
Shohei Ohtani has made his decision, reportedly choosing to sign with the Angels. One of the best players in baseball will share a team -- and quite possibly an outfield -- with the 22-year-old who was already one of the best pitchers and hitters in Japan. Which begs the question: Just which player will be better in 2018?
Sure, Trout can do just about everything. He can hit, he can run, he can throw and he can catch -- and he's done it all in MLB. But can he throw a 100-mph fastball that makes professional hitters look like Little Leaguers?

We'll have to wait a few months to find out, but that doesn't mean you can't make your prediction right now:
