Trout Day to Day with wrist injury

[red321]

because...this team isn't boring enough to watch as it is

[Angel Oracle]

Halos = Mets at the MLB level, only difference is the records; and if this continues, those records may get much closer together.

Come on, where are all of you who wanted a higher draft choice.

[Chuck]

No Trout, no Ohtani, no Chuck.

[Taylor]

EDIT: Dangit, Chuck.

[Blarg]

More Valbuena and Young. 

Day to day. 

[well_red]

this team is so wank i wouldn't be surprised if they all came down with wrist ailments

[Barrett]

Unwatchable with out Trout. They are barely watchable with Trout.

I like it. But this isn't the reason they are doing it. If they wanted to go the tanking route I would be all for it. Get the highest draft pick possible. But they aren't trying to do that. They are playing Valbuena because "reasons" and "trying" to win baseball games.

No shit!

Well, we could always use another 2-19 run like we did at the end of the 2001 season, to improve our draft position.

The way this team is performing, and now with the loss of Trout, it kinda feels like that might happen at any time.

inverse correlation of a Trout wrist injury to a Tdawg wrist injury.

He needs to stay healthy 

MVP

[Angelsjunky]

He's not going to win the MVP. It will be Ramirez or Betts - whoever finishes stronger.

fWAR standings:

1. 7.6 Trout (109 games)

2. 7.3 Ramirez (106 games)

3. 6.6 Betts (90 games)

4. 5.9 Lindor (106 games)

rWAR standings:

1. 7.9 Trout

2. 7.3 Ramirez

3. 6.5 Betts

4. 6.3 Lindor

 

So even if Trout pulls ahead and finishes with around 11 WAR, Ramirez is probably going to be close enough--around 10 WAR--to make the difference between the two small enough that it is more than made up for him actually playing on a contender. 

That said, there is a small chance that Trout sneaks in the MVP because both Ramirez and Betts will lose votes to teammates: Lindor and Martinez, respectively - not to mention each other. So we can't totally write Trout off, I'd just put him as less likely than the other two.

I don’t wanna say zero chance because well it is Trout. But there is maybe a 1% chance he wins mvp. It’ll go to Boston Betts they will likely have the best or second best record in the league while the Angels will be in 4th place in the west.
