A league of 1 wouldn't be fun for anybody (least of all Trout). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colepenhagen 3,155 Posted June 20, 2019 imagine his career numbers if he was surrounded by a good mlb lineup. (springer, trout, bregman, altuve) (acuna, trout, freeman,) (trea, trout, soto, rendon) (Blackmon trout Arenado story) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(springer, trout, bregman, altuve) (acuna, trout, freeman,) (trea, trout, soto, rendon) (Blackmon trout Arenado story) These things can be counterintuitive. If he was around a better lineup he wouldn't get as many free walks as he does so his OPS/BB% and other numbers may actually be a bit lower. The more traditional counting stats would probably be a little bit better but I don't think it would be as drastic as it may stand to reason on the surface.

If he was playing on a stacked offence he would easily produce 30 more rbi’s. I’m sure his runs would go up a lot to, far from a “bit better” but you right about the free walks and maybe stolen bases Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ASHLANDARROWS1992 1,664 Posted July 3, 2019 Have seen talk on other forums about him possibly playing hurt right now..anyone know anything about this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gopackgo555 6 Posted July 8, 2019 What hurt thing? he has 6 hrs and 10rbis in the last 6 games lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LarryDavid 340 Posted July 13, 2019 I’m a lifelong Angel fan and obviously what happened to Skaggs was one of the most unfortunate and saddening things I’ve lived through as a sports fan. Not that Trout needs any more reason to be the best player on the planet and he goes consistently goes on ridiculous runs.. but listening to him talk since Skaggs passing and watching him play I think this has obviously sparked another level (if possible). Its motivation in the worst way but I think he might just have the best 2nd half numbers he ever put up. I don’t know if the team has enough ammo to rightfully play for Tyler and push for the playoffs, but I think the future HOFer is going to do his part to honor his friend and teammate. I don’t want to “write about his game in progress” everyone can go look at game logs. Let’s just say he kicked off his first AB out of the break in Trout style. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzy_Slippers 3,670 Posted July 14, 2019 Trout has 8 homers in his last 7 games. He also leads the AL in homers, RBI, BB, OBP, SLG, OPS, OPS+, TB, and IBB. He's far and away the best player in baseball. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fourth year I've owned this guy in a keeper. Feels like he hasn't gone more than a month without getting hurt since 2015.

Cmilne23 10,180 Posted July 14, 2019 Hopefully they realized they could beat this loser team with their C listers and just took him out since he declared occupancy on the bases this weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blood Brother 1,731 Posted July 14, 2019 IDK if it happens next season but gotta think it's not long until they move Trout to LF and have Adell take over in CF. Trout has been dinged up a bit the last few years and while his defense is still good, might be for the best to get him away from the rigors of playing CF....or at least scale back the number of games he plays CF 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
