Pretty consistently. Matt Kemp with a better glove, basically. I think he and Trout will profile similarly as defenders in CF. Trout has more raw speed but Starling is thought to have better instincts and definitely has a stronger arm.
Exciting either way.

Yeah, it's just hard to compare a prospect to a guy that's still developing (and has had as erratic a career as Kemp has had).
Had you offered the same comparison last season, people would've been aghast by it. Granted, Kemp's just hitting his prime and the guy he's been this season may just be the guy he truly is, but I don't trust him yet and I'm certain I'm not comfortable saying exactly what kind of player Kemp is.
To each their own.
