Francisco Lindor I would add as maybe better than Trout
Well, when his stats reflect it, we'll start taking that claim seriously.Francisco Lindor I would add as maybe better than Trout
Because it's baseball, a team sport, 1 player, no matter how good, can only have a limited effect on the team.So if Trout is the greatest thing since sliced bread how come the Angels never make the playoffs ?

Trout could hit a home run every at bat, make every play hit to him in the field, and they could lose every game.
How many world series did hank aaron make, or willie, or ernie banks?

So basically the Angels overpaid Trout and dont care about other aspects of the team and they wont win nothing
Aaron went to 2 World Series winning 1 and Mays went 3 times and won 1 and Banks was with the Cubs so you know that story

I remember a few years ago the debate was Trout or Harper, that debate no longer exists, by the time he retires the debate will be Trout or Mays
Right now, is it clear cut that Trout is better than Yelich? I don't think its clear cut. Has anyone seen Yelich's numbers in the past year? It's like a Babe Ruth season.
Cmon, lots of players have a great season, stanton and betts come to mind. You have to do it more than once, more than twice, preferably more than that. Only then can you talk about how great they are.Right now, is it clear cut that Trout is better than Yelich? I don't think its clear cut. Has anyone seen Yelich's numbers in the past year?

Barry Bonds and Ken Griffey Jr combined to play in 1 WS between them. It's not Trout's fault the Angels haven't been able to surround him with enough talent to compete for a playoff berth every year, now you could argue if he's overpaid or not, but that has nothing to do with him being the best player in the game, and by a wide margin. He'll go down as one of the greats to ever play the game, and the lack of team success doesn't diminish his accomplishments on the field whatsoever. How many times would he have made the playoffs if he played for the Yankees, Red Sox, or Dodgers? You can't hold it against him because the organization he plays for hasn't been good enough.
Trout gets most of his hit vs back end of rotation, and when game is already decided. not clutch like Keith Hernandez
trout is not clutch either, nor does he hit other teams ace, tony gwynn would hit .400 vs maddux and any other ace, Trump constantly whifs 3 times in a game, something Billy Buckner never did once in entire career
Trouts stats in EVERY category are better this year(and last year since it was a full year), than 2015, do you ever check your facts before you start typing?Trout is not getting better, 2015-16 Trout better than 2018-19
Betts was great last year, but the year before that(and this year so far) he hit .264.Betts one sole great season? Betts is a top 5 player in MLB.
Trout is not getting better, 2015-16 Trout better than 2018-19
Betts was great last year, but the year before that(and this year so far) he hit .264.
He's one of the best players in baseball, yes he is, but he's not quite in trouts league.
Exactly, he's one of the best players in baseball, but he's not consistent like trout, he just isn't.And in 2016, Betts was right there with Trout. Trout edged him in WAR, largely because of a sizeable difference in walks. Betts got no credit for striking out about half the times Trout did. But those 2016 are impressive: 122 runs, 113 RBIs, .318 BA, .363 OBP, .534 SP, 42 doubles, 31 home runs, and only 80 strikeouts in 672 plate appearances
We've never heard a PED rumor for Mookie.
