He has one brilliant 10-WAR season, and three 1-WAR seasons, all in all averaging 3.9 WAR per year. That's not elite/record setting money-worthy IMO. His best season is what Trout AVERAGES over every year of his career (9.1 WAR... close enough) perhaps not fair to compare people to Trout, just for point of reference.
Even Machado has averaged 4.8 WAR per season and has much more consistency in elite performance than Harper.

The book is still very much out on Harper, but given the undeniable potential, teams are going to take risks.
