Mike Trout's power

[Erstad Grit]

Crazy that it potentially will continue to grow. He is already 21st on the Angel's all time homerun list could easily be around 15th by the end of the season. 

[NachoPop]

Dudes a freak. No knowing what he can achieve

[ukyah]

i love watching him. i wish him all the good health in the world.

[laagamer]

Imagine if he hits 40 HR's this year.

 

Who the hell saw that coming.

Within a month Trout will be overtake Erstad for 5th place for Angels all time career fWAR. He could be #1 by the end of 2016.

as excited as I am as a trout fan, im...well...kind of embarrassed as an angels fan.

[Hollyw00d]

Aybar's climbing that list too

the angels have nothing of which to be ashamed. they had their dark ages as an expansion team, since then they have a pretty respectable history. the other thread, about the angels being 4 games from .500, really opened my eyes to that concept. when they achieve that, which will be very soon, they'll be the only expansion team on that list. that's kind of a big deal, at least to me.

The Mets are pretty similar to the Angels in terms of their career WAR leaderboard.

 

In the case of the Padres #1 is Gwynn at 65 and #2 is Dave Winfield at 29.1. Trout will have a higher total than Winfield by the end of this year.

I agree.  It's a huge deal...  

[Angelsjunky]

Trade him while his value is at its highest.

[Stradling]

Is this the thread where I tell you how worried I am about Trout or the thread where I say he will leave as soon as he gets a chance to go play back east?

This is the thread where you point out how he is a fat ass.

[Stradling]

He is quite phat

[Troll Daddy]

He has the ability to hit 40+ hrs and drive in 140 runs. Need to keep on base guys at the back of the lineup.

[Fresh Catch Trout]

Will be halfway to WAR hall of famer by seasons end. he's the greatest player of my lifetime. I'm 31.

[The God of Runs]

Could be the first 50/50 player if Scioscia would let him run

[moccasin]

He hit the longest HR in baseball this season, and he's arguably the fastest runner in baseball as well. He's also made the greatest outfield catch in recent memory.

The man is a freak of nature.

[bloodbrother]

After doing some thorough analysis and number crunching, I have determined that Mike Trout is in fact good at playing baseball

[bloodbrother]

Updated analysis

 

Mike Trout is really, really good at baseball, and he has a lot of power as well!

[ELEVEN]

The gatorade almost seemed to penetrate his armor. Wtf?

[TroutCron]

Hopefully the pitchers keep throwing those pitches below the knees. He may be the best low ball hitter ever.

[moccasin]

I love how that bogus called strike didn't affect him at all. Most players would just strike out and continue to bitch about it to the umpire.

Mike Trout just switches from "get on base" mode from "watch this" mode, and imposes his will on the next pitch.

I don't care where that pitch was. It was going over the wall.

[ELEVEN]

All your bases are belong to Trout

[tdawg87]

He's on pace for 38 HR this year. Would be amazing if he goes on a tear in the 2nd half and gets to 40.
