Is this a real question?

Yes. I'm interested.

Trout injured again

Day to day, more like IL

See you in 'tember

Sadly there will not be any reason for him to return in September. 

 

I think he needs to get in touch with Tom Brady's support team.  They must be looking for employment in the near future.

NFL training camps are here soon. Trout has extra time now to get his fantasy league in order. That's a league where he's safe from injuries. Possibly. 

unless they have a live draft with Pham there.

I’d almost rather it be a surgery injury.  Then there is a timeframe for healing.  Back injuries can be the worst because they can nag and recur and not always be “fixed”.

But…his injuries and long recovery times are on par with someone who’s body is breaking down from roids. Muscles and ligaments become brittle over time and recovery takes longer and longer. He’s not barely 30 and he’s recovering like a 50-60 year old.

What I have a problem with is that it’s a ‘phantom’ injury. When did it happen?  I get the thump a few years back, sliding into second base.  You can’t suck it up when you’re making that kind of money? 

I have a problem the term phantom injury.

It is sad that Trout's contract is looking questionable this early into it.

Year 1 (2019): Great

Year 2 (2020): Sub-par, but covid. Right?

Year 3 (2021): Played 36 games.

Year 4 (2022): Erratic performance, possibly indicative of decline. Worst two slumps of his career. Has played in 85% of games, which by the time he comes back could be ~80% or less.

I can't wait to see what Years 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 have in store for us.

And we're about to repeat this with Ohtani.

Yeah, the thought has crossed my mind. It may be that Ohtani's best years turn out to be 2021-23.

It's also likely that instead of having Trout return being 75% to continue playing for a losing cause, it might be a better scenario for the Angels to wait for Trout to be 100%.  I'm pretty sure that if Trout was playing for a team in contention, he would be on the field sooner.  I'm not worried about Trout's health.  I am worried about Villar and what would happen if he was injured?

I remember last year when the thought on Trout was to sit the rest of the year out to get that calf to 100% and be fully healthy for 2022. Trout has been frustrating

Assuming he’s not coming back yet since they are out of the race.

Personally I’d be shocked if he played again this year

[tdawg87]

Put the baby on the 60 day DL.

[fan_since79]

I'll hazard a guess that Trout will finish his career with a WAR below 100.

I can see an early retirement coming. Body's breaking down already. Three/four more years, tops. He'll DH if we let Ohtani go.

Very sad.

Rinse and repeat next year, and the year after that, and so on. Basically if the team hits any kind of bump by June, even if he's a key reason for said bump, expect some vague rib/gallbladder/spiritual misalignment injury. 

[TroutField]

Jesus Trout, dude is turning into a china doll. 
I appreciate everything he brought to this organization and he’s easily the greatest Angel ever but it really hurts to start to realize this contract is going to get ugly.

Don Mattingly's career was derailed by a back injury - turning him from a Hall of Famer and one of the best hitters of the 80s to Wally Joyner.

According to Wikipedia, he hurt his back in June of 1987 due to "club-house horseplay," although it seemingly didn't effect his numbers all that uch, though he was a bit down that year (142 wRC+) compared to the three years previous (153, 151, 160). He was a different hitter in 1988, and fell again in 1990 when his injury "flared up" again.

1984-87 (23-26): .337/.381/.560, 152 wRC+, 24.7 WAR, or 6.5 WAR per 162 games

1988-89 (27-28): .307/.352/.470, 125 wRC+, 7.0 WAR or 3.8 WAR per 162 games

1990-95 (29-34): .286/.345/.405, 102 wRC+, 8.8 WAR or 1.9 WAR per 162 games

Or to put that another way, from 1984-87, he was 5th in WAR behind only Boggs, Henderson, Raines, and Ripken; and tied for 3rd in wRC+ with Boggs, behind only Jack Clark and Pedro Guerrero.

From 1988-95, he was 83rd in WAR and 126th in wRC+.

Trout is easily my favorite player, but when can we schedule the vaginal reconstructive surgery? It’s difficult to understand how he’s constantly hurt for extended periods of time over seemingly random injuries. 
 

im going to venture to guess he has a Torn oblique and they are calling it a rib injury. Cortisone wouldn’t have been used for an injured rib.
