The "Poor Mike Trout" perception & reaction

[T.G.]

and Trout has a thing for weather... so I'm guessing he wants to live in Tornado Alley.

so what you're saying is that you don't like seasons.

LOL, I wouldn't mind a little snowfall and a lot more rainfall than what O.C. has averaged the past 7 years.

I love how Skaggs is suddenly in the same conversation with Trout and Simmons.

Doesn't Big Bear have all 4 seasons? It snows in a good amount of places in California. The Trout situation hasn't gone Kawhi Leonard yet. Maybe it will but for now, he's an Angel for 3 years.

And he can well afford a beach house here, and a big house with acreage in NJ.   Not to mention paying airfare for relatives to come out here to visit during the season  

When he's finished playing ball, he'll probably be able to buy an entire airline.

Simmons, Trout and Skaggs.

They are all leaving?  Link?  I mean if Trout is leaving to go back home because that is where he wants to live then assuredly Skaggs will be staying since you know, he grew up here and lives here.  I am looking forward to signing Arrenado since he is from here.

Doesnt fiber make other things float in the bathtub?

I heard Trout is going to base his decision on the progress of the bullet train. 

 

Get er done Jerry!

In 1966 it snowed in Pomona one afternoon while I was at a bowling alley, by the time I was ready to leave it was almost completely melted.

This is exhausting.

In baseball, free agents are not loyal at all.  If they get a chance to go home for the same money, they take it.  Sometimes they go to the team that is a winner, sometimes they go to the team that offers the most money.  Rarely do they stick with the team that brought them up, unless they offer the most money.

Whenever I see the word bathtub used on AW, I can only think of the two Dodger fans... ok, who has the pic?!

People need to keep in mind that playing for a winner is the promise of next year more than what previously happened.  We have 2.5 years and two full off seasons and trade deadlines.  

In 2016 our lineup was:

c - perez/bandy
1b - cron
2b - giavotella
3b - escobar
SS - simmons
LF - Ortega, Nava, Marte, Buss
CF - Trout
RF - Calhoun
DH - Pujols

SP starts leaders - Weaver, Shoe, Santiago, Chacin, Trop, Nolasco, Lincecum

we owed $47 mil to CJ Wilson and Josh Hamilton who never stepped on the field for the Halos.  We owed josh another 26m the next season as well.  

Our top 10 prospects prior to the 2016 draft were

Ward, Alcantara, Jones, Nate Smith, Cowart, Gatto, Grayson Long, Kyle McGowin, Jake Jewell, Kyle Kubitza.  Barria and Fletcher were also in the system. 

When Eppler was hired we had five years left of Mike Trout.  We aren't even half way through that.  

Think about what Mike Trout  will consider in 1.5 to 2 years when he's contemplating an extension.  Prior to the 2020 season, he's not going to worry about what the roster looked like in 2016 or even mid 2018.  He's gonna want to see what it looks like for that season and what it may look like for years to follow.  

Also think about the fact that Houston's roster isn't going to look nearly as good as it does now.

Simmons wants to go back home to Curaçao to play.

No I'm pretty sure when Arte offers him a fat contract extension he's specifically going to bring up 2016 and decide he wants to play in New York.

The ultimate would be trading a few of our top prospects for help this year and it amounts to nothing.  Then Trout goes to the team we traded those prospects to and it helps him win a championship.

After he brings up June 8th of this year.  I think we had a thread mentioning that.
