Trout Porn!

I just pray we don't see Trout in pinstripes some day.

We'll still have Pujols

Has anyone ever finished top 5 in league MVP voting in each of their first 2 full seasons? 

Right now, only M-Cab, Davis, and Scherzer are truly ahead of Trout.

 

Yep, and he started kinda slow too, but has been killing it.  I don't think he's gonna slow down this season, I suspect he'll keep pushing that BA upwards of .340ish which will have him very much in the running again.

@Jacob_Jaffe: Mike Trout's 29 doubles before the All-Star break are one shy of Garret Anderson's #Angels record of 30 set in 2003.

@Jacob_Jaffe: Mike Trout has 29 doubles, 7 triples, and 15 homers. No other person since 1916 has reached those numbers before the All-Star break. #Angels

@Jacob_Jaffe: Yes the All-Star break is late this year. But last person with 29 2Bs, 6 3Bs, 15 HRs in first 90 games was Joe DiMaggio in 1941. #Angels

@Jacob_Jaffe: Mike Trout is 2nd in MLB in doubles and tied for 4th in triples. No player since Andy Van Slyke in 1992 has finished top-5 in both. #Angels

Trout has 7 triples, actually

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

The guy that tweeted it (the Angels media relations intern) posted it before yesterday's game. I just edited it to reflect the triple he got yesterday.

One of the So. Cal. groupies needs to work her magic on him to make it harder for him to leave So. Cal./the Angels.

This is why I put the Dodgers high on the list

As I said in the other thread Trout most likely won't win MVP unless Cabrera cools off and Davis at least drops his plate discipline and ends up being a slightly better version of Adam Dunn again. Trout needs to hit .360+ from here on out to end up with a .340 BA, and at least a .420 OBP. If Trout played in the NL, he'd have two MVP's under his belt in his first two seasons in the majors.

[MacNasty]

I really don't think he's going to slow down.  His swoon last season was from him breaking down physically from the long grind, at least that's what I attribute it to.  I don't see that happening this time around.  I think he's gonna be in the zone for most of the remainder of the season, hitting an overall .360 the rest of the way is only a problem for mortals.

Mike Trout has already matched his 2012 total of 8 triples and surpassed 2012's 27 doubles. Only #Angels player ever with 27 2B, 8 3B twice.
