Triple Crown - Has happened twice in the last 50 years (1967 and 2012) and is basically a grouping of offensive numbers that someone decided decades ago were the "most important". Players who have not won the triple crown: Barry Bonds, Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Alex Rodriguez to name a few.  Also, despite playing 8 more seasons than Trout, Cabrera is only 21 WAR ahead of Trout for their respective careers (69 VS 48).

Gold Glove - Not within his control and the best defensive players doesn't always win

AL Batting Champ - What's more important, Batting Champ or OPS Champ?  He got that last season.  Or how about leader in OPS+?  Already won it twice and is the current leader.

AL leader in HRs - Trout led the league in SLG% last season at .590 despite ONLY hitting 41 HRs and being in a meager line-up.  Let's take a look at the current AL HR leaders - Trumbo 43 HRs with a .518 SLG which is lower than Trout's .559.  So, again, why is this important?

Maybe he could accomplish them but the question becomes why is it important, or why does it detract from his accomplishments, if he doesn't?

 

 

He's no Secretariat.
