    What is yours?  He was 2/5, or .400 and they won and his average is now up to .241.  
    So, after coming back he is slowly getting his average up.  A lot of good hitters strikeout a lot, especially nowadays.

    Has the 11th best OPS in the majors this year. Better than Witt, Wilson and Vlad. Oh and he has 9 silver slugger awards, 11 time all star And 3 American league MVP,s. So yeah I guess if you look at most of the MLB HOF,s he sucks. How can anyone not see he is a generational talent?

     Real simple, what has he done in the past six seasons? 0 silver sluggers, 384 hits, 450 k's, .260. avg. 0 Gold gloves, 0 batting titles. Stop bringing up something he did 10 years ago! If he's so great?? How come he doesn't have gold gloves or batting titles. All he has is Silver slugger and MVPs and if you played in the 90s and early 2000s, he wouldn't have those.

     How come every general manager doesn't want him on their team? How come he wasn't on the All-Star team??

     I guarantee you, if you were honest, you don't want him on your team right now. Or in the past 6 seasons??? You can't tell me that the dude hasn't sucked in the last 4-6 seasons. He's had 1 good season in the last 6. And that was 4 years ago. I can't understand why trout fans can't realize his career is over!!! What am I missing here???? Has he been on the All-Star team lately, has he won a Silver slugger award lately, a gold glove, a batting title. Has he won anything lately??? If his last name wasn't trout, he would be in the minors. His stats, SUCK! Why is this so hard to believe?? Go look at them. You people are ridiculous

     Oh really? I think Manny Machado would disagree with you. 108 hits, 69 strikeouts. I think mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman would disagree with you. And judge.. but I know, I know, good hitters strike out nowadays.

     But seriously, honestly, answer my simple question. What has he done in the past 6 seasons?? And if you don't tell me, I will tell you. And I will start with this. O gold gloves and batting titles, playoff appearances. 384 hits, 450 strikeouts, 260 average. I guess 35 million doesn't buy as much as it used to.

    @TxRangers

     He has been playing in the MLB for 15 years. Years his last 5 have not been great. Although I would throw out the COVID year. I am not a fan or cheerleader. The point being does he go to the MLB HOF?

     Watch this? Answer this question honestly? Honestly now! Answer it honestly! Do you want him on YOUR TEAM right now? At 35 million a year, with his stats, with his injury history. A simple yes or no. I don't want excuses. I want you to answer this question honestly with a yes or no. I can tell you this much, there are 30 general managers who don't want him on their team. And that's including the angels.

     The only reason he will go to the Hall of Fame because he's popular. He's a good dude, he minds his business, he's good with the fans. I don't have a problem with him. I have a problem with his fans and the media who thinks he's great. And he's not! Frank thomas, Griffey Jr, Manny Machado, Barry Bonds, Willie mays, to name a few are laughing their ass off at his stats. His fans and the Media thinks he's great, and he's not. He can't even win a gold glove or a batting title? All other superstars have those accolades. So I guess he's not that great if you can't win a batting title or gold gloves. All other superstars do. And his silver sluggers, if he played in the 90s he wouldn't have those, Griffey jr has all of them. But the dude's career is over, it's been over. And people need to realize this, but they won't

     At least you're being honest, you're keeping it real, I appreciate it. And you're right, you, or every other general manager don't want trout on their team. He's injury prone, 35 million a year with his stats. Nobody wants him. But the media and his fans would disagree. He's 33 years old, his career is over, it's been over for 4 years. But trust me, the media is starting to realize that he's done. The word is spreading, that he's done and he's only 33. But he's been done since he was 29. That's what happens when you take steroids.

     I wouldn't vote for him, but he will make it because he's popular. He will have the "shortest" HOF introduction speech ever. I mean, what are they going to mention?? Silver slug awards, a few MVPs and that's it. He won't have 3K hits, actually nowhere near it, he won't have 500 home runs, actually nowhere near 500, below a 300 career batting average, he won't have 1500 RBIs, Griffey has almost 1900, trout will probably have 1200,  O gold gloves, batting titles and championships. He has "metric" numbers. That's it!

    And one final thing. Do you know what great players do? Great players are available for their team on a daily, weekly basis. Well, that's not trout. Great players, PLAY! That's what makes them great!!! They are available for their team and the league to watch them perform. Mike Trout hasn't done anything in the past 4 seasons, and 1 good season in the last 6. Why do you think Greg Maddux is labeled great? Because he took the ball every 5 days and pitched his ass off. Not to mention brady, mahomes, Messi, Gretzky, the Big Hurt, Tony Gwynn, Manny Machado, bonds to name a few. Anyways, I'll be telling the Mike Trout lovers just how much he strikes out this year because it's hilarious. Good luck to ya

    @Raiders22

     

     My point is. He had 5 plate appearances, and struck out 3 times. Top of the 9th, his team winning 6- 5, runner on third base. And what does he do?? STRIKES OUT. HE COULDN'T GET HIS TEAM THE INSURANCE RUN. THAT ALL IMPORTANT INSURANCE RUN. He couldn't even hit a fly ball. "his average up to 241"! Thank you, that means he sucks if he's slowly raising his average to 241. I thought he was great???? But he his uping his average to 241??? What was it before????

    "A FEW MVP'S"  ... HMM... Please list the players in the 125 year history of MLB who have more then a "few" MVP awards then Trout... Plus 4 runner ups... At least you have back peddled on your original  silly notion he will not be in the HOF ...  Oh the answer to the above question... ZERO.....  peace_5

     Yes, he will be in the Hall of Fame only because he's popular. His introduction speech will take about 25 seconds. Seriously dude? What are they going to talk about? His metric stats?? His 3K hits, his 1500 RBIs, his career batting average over 300?? His 9 gold gloves, his 4 batting titles, his championships, his playoff wins, his 500 home runs???. He won't have any of those things. Answer this question. If he played with Ken Griffey Jr would trout have his Silver slugger awards? Let's see if you will answer this question honestly.

     It will die when Mike Trout goes one game without striking out. That's when it will die. That's not asking too much. Manny Machado does it all the time. But trout, only 16 times this season he didn't strike out in a game. I'll put it the rest, when that happens. The dude sucks

     answer honestly? If Trout played in the same ERA with King Griffey Jr. Barry Bonds. Do you think trout would have his silver slug awards or MVPs,?

    More easy money today. Over 1 strikeout for Trout ( -180 ). All he has to do is strike out once, in which he will, and I will break even. The sports books knows he strikes out, that's why it's -180. Guaranteed today! He will either get hurt because of his steroid use, or strike out at least once. Because that's what GREAT players do?!?! They get hurt, and miss games for their team, or they struck out at a high rate.

    Griffey Jr stats. .284 average, 2781 hits, 1779 strikeouts, 630 home runs, 1836 RBIs, 7 silver sluggers, 10 gold gloves, 13 All-Star games. These are stats Mike Trout will never achieve, not even close. All that trout has is Silver slugger awards and he wouldn't have those if he played in the '90s with Griffey Jr. Trout won't even hit 500 home runs.
