Rangers season ticket holder.  Have been reading Angelswin for years.  Something to occupy my night, as I work the overnight shift and have access on the computer. 
 
I am a baseball fanatic.  Been married 38 years.  Lucky enough to have a wife who volunteers at the Rangers Ballpark so we can get free parking. 
 
I was a Mets fan from 1962 until a few years ago.  Still am a Mets fan, but the Rangers are my primary team.

The three players are completely different animals.
 
Pujols is one of the best hitters ever but he's old and he's in extreme pain. His legs are a total mess. Trout is a very young kid. If he hadn't been so shockingly good last year, nobody would be 'worried' about his performance so far this year. I think he'll be fine after he adapts to the adjustments opposing pitchers have made to him. The sophomore swoon is a common thing, and I think he just needs to fight through it and he'll be fine. Hamilton is a complete basket case. He's one of the dumbest players in professional sports and has never worked at his craft. Now that a severe weakness has been found in his game it's being exploited and he has no idea how to adjust. ...he may not have it in him to ever adjust.

Came up with Low Hit Man.

Superb

The overreaction over this is on par with the overreaction regarding his weight. Trout just needs to worry about playing, the money will come in huge amounts. These next few years will pale in comparison to when he's offered a blockbuster contract. 

Thank you Chuck.
 
Regarding the Trout situation, when was the last time a rookie got a substantial raise?  Was it Jeter?  It just is not done.  It is a way for the teams to save some money because the players go for the big bucks later on.  At least the first couple of years the teams are protected.
 
And I am glad to see that Trout is not complaining, just his agent.  He needs to reel his agent in.  Gonna make him look bad.

I cleaned up some shit in this thread and moved it back here. Ladies, try to disagree respectfully. 
 
Oh and Vegas Mike is banned for 7 days. Next time he gets a 365 day ban. Pretty tired of his act! (Trolling & Internet tough guys won't last here).
