Bonds was the Derek Jeter of OF. Johnny Damon is a great comparison defensively to Bonds.

I'd definitely put him in the same category and just as feared. He is 10 times better defensively but a step behind in the power numbers. It is too early to say Trout is in the category for GOAT but Bonds had a name so got gloves.

PLEASE LOVE MY GRIFFEY

Bonds had a career +175 FRAA, including multiple seasons with +20...you're severely underrating his defense....

I used to argue that Harper was probably going to end up being better than Trout.
Of course, when I was 12 I also thought Luzinski was better than Mike Schmidt.

Despite having the best wRC+ YET AGAIN, Mike Trout doesn’t win MVP because reasons.

Because there's more to baseball than hitting (and Trout's wRC+ is only 6 points higher)? Mookie led all outfielders in UZR (Trout was 16th in UZR/150) and finished tied for 2nd in DRS (+20, Trout had +8). Mookie finished with 10.4 WAR while Trout finished at 9.8.

And you could throw as well as he could. Sid Bream scored on his noodle arm. He was the modern Ted Williams.
