Injured

[fan_since79]

I know, but I thought it was minor originally.

[martinpa25]

Which sucks because I strongly believe he was on pace for a monster year

[Blarg]

FAN, how can you spend so much time on this message board and under a rock at the same time?

What do you consider a monster year? Having a lot of hr's and RBI's, but having a low OBP ( like the previous couple of years)?

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Trumbo was hitting .210/.264/.506 before his injury.

 

Yeah, ouch.

Having around 50 bombs and 110 + RBIs and having a low OBP is still considered a monster year by a lot of people

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

He should be back near the end of June.

Not even close.

[martinpa25]

Not even close.

Well idk what world you live in...ask any manager and they'll take those numbers in a heart beat

[nando714]

Who?

[Second Base]

I'm confident Arizona will get what they thought they were getting all along.  Across a full season in the NL and in that park, he'll give them a .250 batting average and 40 HR's.  Sure, he'll be a butcher in the field and his OBP will be poor at best, but that's what they were willing to accept when they gave up Skaggs and Eaton.

Do they only play first halves in the National League?  Cause Trumbo hasn't ever shown up for one in the AL.

Remind me never to select Trumbo and Bourjos in an NL only league ever again.

Yes, and many of them are MVP voters.

[YouthofToday]

Yes, and many of them are MVP voters.

And hall of fame voters. In all in favor of a dementia test to eliminate a bunch of old white guys from voting.

[Angels]

Talk about falling off a cliff...

Trumbo's batting line through 281 PAs: 239/.306/.386 8 HR 87 wRC+

-0.8 WAR

I take no joy in Trumbo struggling.  He was a good Angel and a good OC dude.  Hope he turns it around.

Neither do I. But the trade was awesome at the time and it's looking even better now.

Those numbers aren't much worse than when he was on the Angels. Actually, the fact that his OBP is 77 points higher than his average is an improvement.
