Whatever you guys want to say, Trout isn't as fast as he was last year.

[Halos of Anaheim]

I've already seen him get beat by two throws where he would have been safe last year. One of these were a mishandle that was really shocking and the other one was damn near tailored for an infield base hit. 

[Jason]

Nor is he as good at fielding and hitting.

[jshep]

Too stout to leg them out

[Halos of Anaheim]

The fielding is a result of his loss of speed too, hitting..he's just been over-anxious and he's getting less fastballs than he did last year.

[Reveille1984]

He's 4th in WAR in the AL right now, who really cares?  With all the things going terribly on this team, Trout really isn't the one I'd be worrying about.

[full circle]

I care, and I agree with the Op.

[Jason]

I care too. Trout is too talented to let himself go and get lazy on his off season workouts.

Exactly. I love how nonchalant he is about the sport and everything, but he needs to take all of this more serious if he wants to make improvements.

[HaloNation]

of course he is not lol

 

he gained a shitload of weight

[Tyler]

Bump

[Halos of Anaheim]

Bump

lol I would have bumped this thread too if he didn't beat that out. not an accomplishment at all. he's missed easier ones than that all year.

[Taylor]

Too blimp to be a pimp.

[2002_halos_II]

He's aged.

[worldofx]

Missed the sell high period.

 

F'in Dipoto.

[Mean Spirited]

Fat Trout.

[WestistheBest]

I wouldn't worry about it. He's that good.

[Bashbrothers]

Missed the sell high period.

 

F'in Dipoto.

Could have gotten a whole ****ing bullpen last year.

[CaliAngel]

It has nothing to do with his weight. 

 

He sees guys not even trying getting paid (almost) 100x what he is and therefore has no reason to sacrifice his young talent or abilities for the rest of them.

 

Can't say I blame him.  

[rick99gtp]

I hate to see what happens when you guys run out of players to complain about.

[Stradling]

I hate to see what happens when you guys run out of players to complain about.

They're complaining about Trout, which means they have run out of legitimate complaints. Wash, rinse, repeat.

[Chimi]

I bet Trout is really 36 or something.

[Ohtaniland]

Trout's getting paid like a flounder. FLOUNDER FARM coming soon.

There's probably a lot more truth to this than what many want to admit. The blase mentality and overall lack of intensity that's (seems to be) permeating around this team seems to be contagious. 

[The God of Runs]

At current rates of weight gain, Trout will have trouble beating Bengie Molina or even John Kruk by this time next year.

[Jay]

he's soft
