BREAKING NEWS - MIKE TROUT

[Loosey]

He is good.  That is all.

[gil4]

Not news, breaking or otherwise. But he can play a little. 

 

His batting average is only .295, though.  He'll never be a star unless he consistently gets that over .300.  Maybe if he bunts for a few hits and stops trying to hit HRs all the time...

He's good, no doubt.

 

He's even better when the bases are loaded... and when a team with a bad bullpen brings in one of their September call-ups to pitch to him, look out.

[Craig Arko]

And he's a spokesperson for Subway now, too.

[Sarah]

He'll be okay once he figures it out...

What's with the Angels and FISH?

They had (Tim) Salmon.

Now they have (Mike) Trout.

And they have always had MANY players who were called Crappie(s).

Rumor has it they really want Mike Carp to provide great fishing depth off the bench.....

[Willihammer]

Signing Jeff Samardzija (Shark) this winter would add needed fishing power to the rotation as well.

I had a guy at work today tell me he thought Trout was a top ten player in the game today.

I would dispute neither his conclusion, nor his grasp of the obvious.

Eh, maybe. Top ten is stretching it a bit.

Would you at least grant he'd be somewhere knocking on the door of the top ten on the team, if the Twins somehow acquired him?

The Twins had a Trout too. 

 

If the Twins front office had given him a call asking, "How's your boy; we just drafted him," this would be a better topic.

Maybe the fourth best CF on the team.

 

Maybe.

Like we don't have enough 4th-OF types already

edit - I see Brock and I were on the same page; he just got there a couple of days before I did.

[DJSim22]

Can we take Plouffe for him?  Maybe add Duensing as a sweetener?
