Trout

Does MLB pimp him too hard?

 

[navamind]

Nope. He's unquestionably the best player in baseball, and has been for about 3 1/2 years now. His age 20-23 production is almost completely unparalleled.

No doubt that he is great, but MLB seems too eager for a superstar. He hit a solo home run in the all-star game and he gets the MVP? Meh, I just feel like they're trying too hard.

Who would you give it to? Dozier had a nice home run, but he only had 1 AB. deGrom was great, but they weren't going to give it to him when the NL lost.

Who else do you give the MVP to, considering that not only did he have a HR, but he also walked and scored a run later in the game.

Lorenzo Cain (a single and an RBI double) would be the only other candidate in my mind. But I think Trout was the right call.

umm, so did Bo Jackson for leading off the game with a HR. Every year they have to have a superstar, been that way since baseball has been around. We just hear it 3000 more times because all of the constant media.

Trout gets a lot of praise and during the All Star break with not much else to talk about he gets a lot more of it.

But a good point was brought up on the Post Game show last night. He probably get less attention than many football and basketball stars.

But the players have been raving. I think David Price would marry him if given the choice lol.

Price would fit the wife role quite well, seeing as he's a gigantic bitch.

Chapman

When was the last time the MVP went to a guy on the losing team?

 

[tducey]

Not at all, guys the best player in the league.

This is actually very debatable right now, and not because Trout's performance has slipped. Donaldson is really fucking good.

MLB leaderboards over the last calendar year

Donaldson has nearly a full win over Trout.

He's better than Griffey was at his age and I don't think he has nearly as much exposure as Griffey did.

 

[Bulletz]

Nope. MLB needs a face of the league, they need to milk the hell out of Trout.

 

[Villain]

Yes, MLB pimps Bryce Harper too hard.
