Mike Trout has the same career WAR as Derek Jeter

Chewbaccer · Aug 18, 2019

This is Trout's 8th full season. Jeter played 19.

Not a knock on Jeter at all, just another thread about how great Mike Trout is.

Angels really need to get some talent around this guy.

navamind · Aug 18, 2019

that's not even getting into the fact that has about 7400 fewer plate appearances. Trout also has 21 more home runs

Trout is just amazing.

navamind · Aug 18, 2019

oh yeah, and Trout's career OPS is now over 1.000 (1.001)

The worst defensive player that the media considered a great defensive player that I've ever seen.

I'm not an Angels fan or anything but I agree the Angels need to put a team around him, it will be criminal if he never plays in a World Series...

I hate the Angels and even I endorse this post.

I watch a lot of baseball, if the Braves are off, I'll watch whatever nationally televised game is on. After Tyler Skaggs passed and Matt Harvey was cut, I have to think long and hard to come up with the names of any Angels starting pitcher(Ohtani doesn't count).

Without checking stats, I'm gonna say they have to be among the 5 worst starting rotations in the Majors.

Let’s just get him some playoff series

He’s played 3 career playoff games. Such a shame.

Kind of apples to oranges comparing the greatest player under 30 in history to a crappy SS who was an above average hitter that gave gifts out to chicks he banged.

What the Angels are doing with the greatest player in several generations is nothing short of a sin.

Imagine if Michael Jordan couldn't even be a top 5 seed more than once.

CaptainStubing · Aug 19, 2019

well, shit, Trout may go down in the conversation as the 'greatest ever' to play the game. He's just that damn good. Jeter will never sniff that conversation.

No.

Your team making it to the world series the year before you get there, than only getting back to the WS and winning it the first year after your retirement would be criminal.

Trout is amazing, the guy is on his way to being 1 of the best to ever play the game. The Angels have him long term, time to surround him with some better talent.

Yeah, I guess but I just can't find it in my heart to feel bad for a Yankee, especially one that kept Kent Hrbek from winning a gold glove.

Another two years of Pujols is a huge part of the problem.
