Let’s go.
Yeah, future Hall of Famer, for sure. Considered by many to be the best or one of the best players in the post-Steroid era.
There’s a debate between stats nerds in the game (classical stats [HRs, RBIs, etc.] vs. Sabermetrics [wins above replacement…idk because I’m not a revisionist, etc.]). Anyway Trout had a good Sabermetrics season at the same time Miguel Cabrera had a good “normal” season, and there was a huge debate over who should be Player of the Year.
Cabrera ended up winning 🇻🇪.
Trout is still very good, though.
*Sorry, no. He shouldn’t be paid that much, of course. But he is very good.
