New Major League Franchise?

If you are the new owner of a Major League Franchise and could have either Mike Trout or Bryce Harper as your marquee player who would you choose and why?

Update:

Since I expect many haters, especially of Bryce Harper, I'd like to add some additional details for those who have either forgotten or didn't know Mike Trout actually played in 2011. These are the statistics for the first 40 games for both Trout and Harper. I select the first 40 games because that is how many games Trout played in 2011 at age 19; the same age Harper is in 2012.

Trout

.220/.281/.390 (Average/On Base/Slugging)

27 Hits, 20 Runs, 5 Homeruns, 16 Runs Batted In, 30 Strikeouts, 9 Walks

Harper

.273/.391/.460 (Average/On Base/Slugging)

42 Hits, 29 Runs, 4 Homeruns, 14 Runs Batted In, 29 Strikeouts, 18 Walks
