I agree with what many people are saying about Trout. He is the best player on the field every night and the most overall talented player playing today. I think his tools are amazing and he is spectacular in all the things that he does. I just believe that when a team that is battling for fourth or fifth in a fairly weak division it is hard to pluck a player off of that team and name them MVP. Like I mentioned in the article, if you take Trout off of the Angels they are still likely battling for third or fourth in the West. I do feel that there should be more respect for a player putting up gaudy numbers on a bad team because there are fewer opportunities for them. However, winning is the goal for every team and I strongly feel that the MVP award should be handed out to a player that has been the most valuable piece in putting their team in a position to win a championship.
For the record, in any draft real or fantasy if I have the first pick Trout would be on my team.
I just wanted to thank you all for the kind words. I got a little overambitious with this first article but I am glad I did. I look forward to providing all the readers of angelswin.com with some unique analysis and insight from this day moving forward.
