I label him as the best player on this team.

So far this season, yes. However, I'll put my money on the other half of "TnT" over the duration.

There is nothing wrong with being a streaky hitter. Most of the best hitters in the league are streaky hitters.

How about being defined as a winner.

I define him as a hard worker, that realized the issues he had last season, and worked really hard in the offseason and spring to correct that.  And so far, his work has shown what we all hoped.

According to Texas fans, this is the opposite of Hamilton.

Oh man.  For a minute there I thought Trumbo was coming out.

How does he feel about being labeled "Trumbone"?

Just wondering, why does the admin continually double post threads?

I wish we had the April/May 2012 streaky Hamilton.

 

Heck, I'd take even a hint of that streak.

By far the most refreshing player this year, Bourjos too before he got hurt.

 

Trumbo seems to work really hard at getting better.  He is at the point where you cant miss an AB of his.

As long as the slow streaks are quick.
