What happened to Trumb0ner?

[Trumboner44]

Did he ever learn to play 3b? Very curious. 

[Drink More Yakult]

I think Brandon Wood should get called up soon to handle the hot corner.

[Trumboner44]

Trumb0ner could hit dingerz. Wood could not. 

[Drink More Yakult]

Trumbo spent the past two seasons on the DL because he hurt his knee. When are you going to change your name to Rend0n6?

[Trumboner44]

E.A.T my Rend0ner, @Drink More Yakult

[John Taylor]

He really fell off after 2016. Played only 12 games last year with Baltimore. I've always been a fan of his and would love to see a comeback season, he'll be 34 entering Spring Training this year. I actually have no idea if he is still with Baltimore or if a free agent.

 

2016: 47 HR,  108 RBI, .256/.316/.533/.850 (159 G)

2017: 23 HR, 65 RBI, .234/.289/.397.686 (146 G)

2018: 17 HR, 44 RBI, .261/.313/.452/.764 (90 G)

2019: 0 HR, 3 RBI, Rest of the stats don't matter as he played in 12 games in 2019

Too bad he couldn't get in on that "juiced ball" shit at Camden Yards.  Might have hit 50 or more home runs.

[TroutField]

Wasn’t there a thread a few months ago saying he was going to try to get back into pitching to see if he could be a two way player? 
 

im pretty sure it was “Mark Trumbo goes both ways” or something 

[Taylor]

Trumbo was never more than a mediocre hitter with some extra pop.

[Angelsjunky]

I love it when people ask others to look up stats for them. 

[Second Base]

I hear he's trying the two way thing. If this had been a more credible idea 15-20 years ago, he would've gone much higher in the draft. Used to sit mid-90's and hit 500 foot bombs in BP. 

Now he's in his mid-30's though. I can't imagine he'd be much more than what Jared Walsh is right now, which is a power bat off the bench and an effective mop up reliever.

A lot of times these days, I forget that Trumbo used to played for the Angels. He was awful as a hitter. Never was a fan of his approach at the plate even though I remember he had a big first half in 2012. Another mediocre hitter that was overrated by the fan base, just like Calhoun. 

[Jay]

He was awful.

I remember the bat-stare:

I remember the bat-stare:

Maybe it had a small video screen of the catcher's signs transmitted from a garbage can in center field.

More likely he's checking his stock portfolio.

 

[Erstad Grit]

I wanted him to go to Rockies and put on a show. I liked trumbo. He came up big several key times. 

[wopphil]

I have only sat Diamond Club one time. It was the game Trumbo hit a walk off against Texas. I will forever love him for that. 

[Angel Oracle]

460 foot bomb to CF off of King Felix in his prime in 2011, that was my biggest memory.

[Brandon]

I’ve been to Kauffman many times and that all-star game there a few years back where he participated in the home run derby and was hitting the roof of their Baal of fame shit in left field was absolutely insane. That is so far back and to hit the roof is nuts.

[ten ocho recon scout]

The one he hit in Oakland was rad...

He didnt live up to what we wanted, so sure, a bit overrated by the fan base. But he was better than some on here make him out to be.

Does Trumboner switch hit?

Have you ever heard about backwards baseball?

The user bats for the other team, like how the Angels’ pitchers last season pitched for the other team.

I looked up his fielding stats on Baseball-Reference.com. Apparently not. In his career, he has played a total of 11 games at third base, with nine of those being while he was with the Angels.
