Trout

They should tell him to play through it, joker came back in a few weeks.

Seriously, he can DH and they can tell him to run as hard as stanton does, he can get the operation in 8 weeks when the season is over.

Will he ever hit over 30 HRs in a season the rest of his career? Not if he can’t stay on the field.

Trout is a bum. Once a player signs a big guaranteed deal they could care less.

Most orthopedic surgeons take out the entire meniscus now because there's always the risk of tearing what's left which is exactly what happened to Trout.

6 years left on his contract! Ouch
The main problem with trout is he's now obviously not a gamer, he doesn't hunger to get back on the field, he's content to get his paycheck and sit.

When he was rehabbing oh so slowly from the 1st operation he would say things like "when I work the knee in the pool, etc, it feels a little sore the next day" he actually said he was going slowly because he's afraid it might hurt,. no shit sherlock, that's called getting over an injury and recovering from an operation, when I work in my yard digging or whatever the next day I might feel a little sore. Who cares.

Trout is a malingering pussy at this point, he could play the rest of the year at DH easily and it wouldn't do any more damage.

Trout has the typical pattern of a HGH user which has been rumored for years. He went from a defensive back to a linebacker look in a few years. Naturally like many users his tendons and ligaments could not naturally sustain the additional weight and force. He's not a big lifter from what I understand, never have seen any photos of him in a weight room.

he is hurt. The body can take only so much to play at that level.
he's barely played in the past 5 yrs, it's baseball for christs sake. On a tough day he might run hard 3-4 times in the outfield and once or twice on the bases.

in baseball, players are at their peak at about 28 y/o. It is very hard to play at MLB level and stay there.

The Phillies seem to be a willing trade partner lately. Trout to Philly looks automatic next season. Halos are on
a prospects hunt right now......it doesn't make sense to keep him. Every year his value diminishes. I'm sure he
would be willing to re-work his deal to be closer to home.

He makes about $35m a year. Angels are gonna have to eat about half his salary to make the trade happen.

I’ve long suspected him as a juicer
For multiple reasons
Not only the exceesive injuries
As a rookie ( ala bonds )
trout’s physique was very different

The opening odds start here
Judging for the team he is playing, I wouldn't be psyched to return within the same reason. Wrapped right around his finger.
