Protecting Mike Trout

[red321]

I think it's pretty clear that the most important job for Halo brass is to make sure Mike Trout is healthy. Without a healthy Trout...this team is going nowhere.

 

There are some obvious things that can be done...Red light...no stealing. And I would go a step further, we implement a Bengie Molina rule for Trout. No trying to stretch singles in to doubles or doubles in to triples...no beating out infield grounds. If Bengie Molina can't do it...Trout shouldn't be doing it.

 

The proposal to move him to LF is a good start...CF is just to dangerous. But really, is LF any safer? Who knows if Simmons has a loud voice when going back on a pop up...those foul line walls are pretty hard. I was thinking maybe 1b...but that comes with dangers as well (see Mo Vaughn).

 

So, I think it's pretty clear that the safest defensive position for Trout would be DH. But then you have that pesky hit by pitch thing...and let's really think about it. Baserunning is dangerous, even with the aforementioned Molina rules, and then you add on top if he's DH'ing most likely he's just sitting on his ass ala David Ortiz between innings...so the running injury risk goes up by another 24.76%.

 

I think you see where we are going here folks...the only way to ensure Mike Trout doesn't get hurt and ruin the Halo chances for this year, is preemptively put him on the DL so he doesn't get hurt. 

 

Make it happen Eppler...save the season.

The best solution for not having to worry about a Trout injury is to trade him.

He should be become the full time DH and be pinch ran for late in the game. The best way to insure the best players remains injury free is not to use him at all.

A windshield 'fix it' doctor really isn't the same ... is it?

[laagamer]

Wtf is the garbage? Seriously?

Maybe he should just ****ing retire right now to prevent injury.

[IEAngelsfan]

Problem solved.

We will never know, because if we did, it would be gone like the T-Rex.

[Ohtaniland]

Yes we should coddle him to keep him healthy and fresh for free agency. Then he can sign with another team that will allow him to play baseball. What he's paid to do.

It's better than being Scioscia's fluffer while bidding time for him to become a dodger again.

-Trident Submarine

 

Point made let me make this more specific. Can a player be used to his full extent if he only uses 3 or 4 of his 5 tools? Trout has the potential to be one of the all time greats, but he needs to use all off his gifts to achieve it. IMO

 

The purpose of the Trident submarine and all of the nuclear arsenal is to be a deterrent to all out war, with the hope to never be used in anger. To that purpose they are being used to their full extent, at least so far. When the time comes, God forbid, they are used they will become a failure to prevent and all at war.

Whoa...I don't think anyone wants Trout to be extinct.
